Hello,
I have setup v2.2.12 to mirror mailboxes between our main mail server
(vmail.example.com) and a failover server (vmail1.example.com).
The problem I have is the behavior of mailboxes used on the main server
(*vmail*) over POP3. I have setup an IMAP account on the failover server
(*vmail1*) on such a mailbox: the mailbox is used on vmail using POP3
and the same is monitored on vmail1 using IMAP. It's mailbox *userx*(in
Maildir format).
I notice that all mail coming in userx mailbox on vmail, is correctly
replicated on vmail1, but when it is downloaded from vmail over POP3
(and the mailbox there remains empty), the same mailbox on vmail1 is not
updated to be emptied (automatically) as well, but it is accumulating
mail forever (which is real problem on the mirror server).
Is there a setting to enable correct mirroring of a POP3 mailbox (to
empty the respective mailbox on the failover server) when mail is
downloaded from it or something else should be done in this respect?
Please explain.
I quote below the full current config on the main server.
Thanks in advance,
Nick
