Dear all,
I've just setup replication between two servers. The e-mail accounts on
both servers intersect but are not the same.
In dovecot.conf (both are identical except one user /var/mail and the
other uses /srv/vmail) I have:
--<<--
userdb {
driver = passwd-file
args = username_format=%Lu /etc/dovecot/virtual_passwd
default_fields = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/mail/%d/%n
}
passdb {
driver = passwd-file
args = scheme=SHA512-CRYPT username_format=%Lu /etc/dovecot/virtual_passwd
}
-->>--
i.e. I use a passwd-like database.
For the non-overlapping accounts in both servers I want to prevent
replication, as it will otherwise fail with "Error: sync: Unknown user in
remote".
I have added "userdb_noreplicate" (also tried "userdb_noreplicate=y") for
those users, but I still see the above error message in the logs.
Like:
rei...@bbmk.org:{SHA512-CRYPT}$6$e10...4c::::::userdb_noreplicate=y
If I run "doveadm user -u rei...@bbmk.org" I get the following:
userdb: rei...@bbmk.org
user : rei...@bbmk.org
uid : 5000
gid : 5000
home : /var/mail/bbmk.org/reinob
noreplicate: y
Note that I use "userdb_noreplicate" instead of "noreplicate" (which I
also tried just in case), as from what I understood the "userdb_" prefix
is required when adding the flag to the passwd file.
As far as I can tell I'm doing everything right, but for some reason the
replication is ignoring that flag.
Thanks in advance for any help with this.
(Let me know if you need to see the $(doveconf -n), but I believe the only
relevant parts are the userdb and passdb.
