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? T David
