dovecot replication on dovecot v 2.3.8

[Stephane Magnier]

Hi,

I am trying using a replication. Here is my config : 10-mail.conf. 
Before going " on real life " I try to make a very basic example... but 
without any success :-(   bad start

I took the config example on dovecot wiki

The idea is to replicate the user: "user1" on a different server IP 
177.28.1.120 at the location /home/SERVER/test and to get at the end the 
folder "/home/SERVER/test/user1"

On the top, I wish to replication with the user / group : vmail. For the 
transfer, I use the root login on the backup server to avoid other 
rights problems at the moment

2) how to synchronized  specific users ? apparently it's trying to sync 
other things.. :-)


    # mbox_very_dirty_syncs = yes
    mail_plugins=$mail_plugins quota notify replication
    service replicator {
       process_min_avail = 1
    }

    dsync_remote_cmd = ssh -l root 177.28.1.120 doveadm dsync-server -u
    user1
    plugin {
         mail_replica =remote:root at 177.28.1.120:/home/SERVER/test/
         }

    service aggregator {
    fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo {
    user = vmail
    }
    unix_listener replication-notify {
    user = vmail
    }
    }

    service replicator {
    unix_listener replicator-doveadm {
    mode = 0600
    user = vmail
    }
    }

    replication_max_conns = 10



But apparently nothing is happening....

    [root at xxx xenia]# doveadm replicator status
    Queued 'sync' requests 0
    Queued 'high' requests 0
    Queued 'low' requests 0
    Queued 'failed' requests 0
    Queued 'full resync' requests 24
    Waiting 'failed' requests 10
    Total number of known users   34

and the folder test is empty

Any idea what is wrong ? maybe I should ask a start a cmd line to start 
the process ? (


    [root at mbox1 xenia]# doveadm replicator status '*'
    username priority fast sync full sync success sync failed
    rngd none     -         -         -            -
    *user1                                                   none
