Hi Lucas, Thanks for your response. I have done that, and when logged into both servers as the vmail I can SSH to the other server and am not challenged for a password (I'm using keys).
However when I restart Dovecot I get the following error: Oct 28 10:36:11 server1 dovecot: dsync-local(vmail): Error: remote: Permission denied, please try again. Oct 28 10:36:11 server1 dovecot: dsync-local(vmail): Error: remote: Permission denied, please try again. Oct 28 10:36:11 server1 dovecot: dsync-local(vmail): Error: remote: Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive). Oct 28 10:36:11 server1 dovecot: dsync-local(vmail): Error: read() from worker server failed: EOF So even though I can SSH from one server to another using key-based auth and the vmail account, it appears dsync can't.
