Hi, Thanks. Like i said i read it all and somehow i have some trouble interpreting it and that is why i mentioned that i kinly asked for some help not re-quoting the manual as that didn't lead to a successful attempt so after reading everything and trying everything out i tried the mailing-list.
the page is actually confusing and a kind user (thank you so much) emailed me and helped me out. (the man page is actually not correct in my opinion or i totally interpret it wrong :) This did work : # doveadm sync -u [email protected] ssh -p 15223 [email protected] doveadm dsync-server -u [email protected] The main difference is the -p parameter (not present in sample and doc neither is the -i parameter so please next time don't quote blindly) and that it is the SSHLOGINuser that's important which in the sample is called mail-user (not the same in my opinion). Again i might have read it all wrong but else a small update to the wiki could be useful ? thanks mailing-list and the user that helped me out. regards, On 2014-11-18 09:32, Gedalya wrote: > On 11/18/2014 03:23 AM, [email protected] wrote: > >> Hi all, >> >> First sorry i really couldn't find it back been searching everywhere even >> the docs and its bit confusing. >> I am using # doveadm -D sync -u *@mydomain.net remote:myserver.net # which >> works perfect however for security reasons we now need to change the sshd >> port on the remote server. >> How do i tell doveadm to use a custom SSH port (would love to continue to >> use just the ssh connection), if anyone could explain that would be great, >> because all i found is custom tcp or tcp ssl which is not what we want to >> use, as i wish to stick with custom ssh port. > From the dsync man page > > EXAMPLE > SYNCHRONIZATION > Synchronize mailboxes with a remote server.
