Re: [Dovecot] Dovecot replication - I'm stuck

Yes, create the vmail user on both boxes and set up key-based authentication via SSH so the two can talk to each other without passwords.

Also, best upgrade to dovecot 2.2 as mentioned on the wiki page, as only 2.2 supports incremental syncing of mailboxes.

Hi,

I've been following the wiki document at
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication, but I've become stuck.

I'm running version 2.1.3 on NetBSD 5.2 (v2.2+ isn't available as a package
yet, and compiling my own is well outside my wheelhouse).

I have a couple of questions:

The wiki page keeps referring to "vmail".  Is this a just system user I
need to create?  Presumably on both Dovecot boxes?

If I don't use virtual users, do I need this?

Here is my dovecot -n:


# 2.1.3: /usr/pkg/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: NetBSD 5.2 cobalt
auth_mechanisms = plain login
dsync_remote_cmd = ssh -l%{login} %{host} doveadm dsync-server -u%u
listen = 192.168.1.1
login_greeting = Go on then, let's have it...
mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
mail_plugins = " notify replication"
passdb {
   driver = passwd
}
plugin {
   mail_replica = remote:vm...@server2.mydomain.com
   replication_full_sync_interval = 1 hours
}
protocols = imap
service aggregator {
   fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo {
     user = vmail
   }
   unix_listener replication-notify {
     user = vmail
   }
}
service auth {
   unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {
     group = postfix
     mode = 0660
     user = postfix
   }
   user = root
}
service imap-login {
   inet_listener imap {
     port = 0
   }
}
service replicator {
   process_min_avail = 1
   unix_listener replicator-doveadm {
     mode = 0600
   }
}
ssl_cert = </etc/openssl/certs/mail.mydomain.com.crt
ssl_key = </etc/openssl/private/mail.mydomain.com.key
userdb {
   driver = passwd
}
protocol lda {
   postmaster_address = postmas...@mydomain.com
}


Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I'd really love to get this
working.

Thanks,


-Mark

You know, we go to the gym to keep the body fit. Similarly the mind needs some 
rest. The mind is bombarded with so many impressions. Our mind has been 
bombarded by impressions the whole time. It needs a different kind of rest 
other than sleep. And meditation is such a rest. It calms the mind. energizes 
the spirit and makes the body more strong and vibrant. improves the immune 
system. The immune cells, the T-cell count go higher through Sudarshan Kriya 
and meditation. And you feel so nice inside. - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
