Hi, there.

I am using dovecot 2.3.21.1.

I am experimenting with replication, currently doing it manually, using this:

doveadm -Dv sync -u jcea ssh email doveadm dsync-server -u prueba_backup; echo $?

It works fine so far, but I have a few hundreds of mailboxes in my imap4 account and an "empty" (no changes) sync takes 30 seconds, since apparently it compare every mailbox (according to the debug info printed).

I am using "mdbox" storage in both sides.

I would expect an event replication, where time is proportional to the volume of changes, not to the total data volume or number of mailboxes.

Am I doing anything wrong?. It would be faster to use "replicator" + "mail_replica". Can I improve this in some way?

Replication must be both ways, because in one server new emails are arriving and in the other imapserver I am doing my mail work. I want new email appearing in my work imapserver (living my own laptop) and my email processing to be replicated back to the server for backup/disaster recovery (lost laptop, broken HD) and access from a different laptop, phone, etc.

Thanks.

PS: By default dovecot sanitizes the environment and doesn't allow "SSH_AUTH_SOCK" for ssh-agent. Why?. That is very inconvenient.

I am using this environment variable to overcome that:

DOVECOT_PRESERVE_ENVS="HOME USER SSH_AUTH_SOCK SSH_AGENT_PID LOG_STDERR_TIMESTAMP TZ CORE_OUTOFMEM CORE_ERROR"

Is this the right way to do this?
