First I need to mention, that I ran Dovecot in replication mode for many years in a setup for a handful of users, only. Thus the volume of mails are at the very lower bottom for an IMAP server. Now, I do run dbmail [1] and thus keep my mails stored in a MariaDB Galera cluster [2]. Between the MUA and dbmail I do run HAProxy as a "surrogate" for Dovecot's now gone director. As my traffic is at the lower end I can afford to direct all IMAP communications to one Galera node, only [3]. During failover situations HAProxy directs traffic to one of the remaining cluster nodes. This is up running for some month now, and I am very happy with it. But I know, others "milages may vary", though ;-) Regards, Michael [1] https://dbmail.org/en/ [2] 3 nodes, primary-primary replication. This is my "surrogate" for Dovecot's replication. One may replace a third MariaDB node and run garbd for achieving a quorum.
