I searched the archives and do not see a question/answer for this. 

Should I perform a set of ordered steps after setting up replication? I have 
setup dovecot on both ends with identical config except for the remote 
hostname. 

Main concern is the existing server gets replicated to the new server. I want 
nothing from new server replicated to the old server. Risking "Trial and error" 
and "crossing fingers” doesn’t work with production emails

Specifically:

Do I need to setup the mail directories for the various virtual users on the 
remote? If so, do the directories need to empty?

Should I initially do a manually one-way synch using doveadm from the existing 
server? If so, is there a way of turning off automatic replication while the 
manual one runs?

Anything else?
