Ugh, stuff got mangled in formatting below. Anyway, I've had no luck
with
various permutations, so it's looking like a virtual-user setup can't
make
use of replication ?
I guess what I want is for it to activate replication upon ANY
notification
of updated emails.

Is it possible to get replication working in a virtual user setup
that uses a static userdb ? My environment is fairly simple and
typical
- there's a single system user (vmail) that owns all the home dirs
(/var/mail/domain.com/user). The virtual users
( userid @ domain.com : secretpassword) are kept in a single file
(/var/mail/domain.com/PASSWD) that's unique per domain, and
referenced
as a static userdb :
passdb {
driver = passwd-file
args = scheme=plain username_format=%u /var/mail/%d/PASSWD
}
userdb {
driver = static
args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/mail/%d/%n
}
I know the
wiki http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication states that user listing
must
be enabled, but that's not available for a static userdb. The wiki
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/Static also says that it
shouldn't
be a problem because it will use do a passdb lookup instead (except
for
PAM which isn't used here).
Unfortunately, it's not working. I've testing with ssh :
dsync_remote_cmd = ssh -l vmail %{host} doveadm dsync-server -u%u
-l%{lock_timeout} -n%{namespace}
mail_replica = remote:[email protected]
as well as with straight tcp (SSL for later)
mail_replica = tcp:server2.domain.com:999
/var/log/mail.err shows the problems ...

Jun 3 11:30:53 server1 dovecot: replicator: Error: listing users

Anyone else have it working ? I'm sure it's
something simple that I've just overlooked.
