Aki is correct and is consistent with what I said in the video, although I could have phrased my explanation better. "dsync" refers to the tool/utility (part of doveadm) that does mail synchronization between a source account to a destination account. As Aki said, this is not going anywhere. This is a necessary tool for any kind of migrations, for example. dsync is under active maintenance, as we heavily use this tool internally. What is being removed is the replicator plugin (that used dsync). That's what is being referred to in the video. Replicator hasn't been actively maintained for years now so this was dead code anyway. To answer the OP: sis is also being removed and should not be used by any new installation. Code remains to read data written by the old plug-in so that these installations don't require a migration between 2.3 and 2.4. This is another plugin that hasn't be actively maintained in years, and has all kinds of limitations that prevent it from running at scale. Neither replicator nor sis is code that is moving from open to closed source. These plugins aren't used in Pro. They are unmaintained so they are being removed, as happens with any kind of old code. michael
