Re: Dovecot/doveadm quota

[Martynas Bendorius]

In webhosting customers usually see their physical disk usage used (quota on 
filesystem), and it causes a lot of confusion when numbers don't match with 
doveadm quota at all.

What's your opinion on these:
1) Should indexes (including FTS indexes stored in Maildir) be counted in the 
mail quota?
2) Shouldn't doveadm quota have a flag for real disk usage, so that if emails 
are compressed, their real size would be quoted?
3) Shouldn't dovecot rely on st_blocks instead of fstat's st_size? (a benefit 
for this: in this case converted maildir files without S=... would still be 
counted into the space used)

A short yes/no to 1, 2, 3 would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Re: Dovecot/doveadm quota

[Aki Tuomi]

I think that most admins do not really care about physical disk usage as
long as it's not exceeded, and most service providers prefer calculating
quota against apparent usage instead of real usage, so they can charge
you for that.

Re: Dovecot/doveadm quota

[Martynas Bendorius]

Doesn't it currently confuse them? Because they'd reach their quota, while 
actually there would be a lot of disk space left :) + their whole mailbox could 
take a lot more space due to indexes and other files in the filesystem, and 
quota would not be reached.

Also, I've dovecot is using fstat's st_size parameter. This is not "correct", 
in that the actual space used on disk is always higher.

If we count the number of 512B blocks used (st_blocks), and multiply by 512 to 
get the true disk usage.

I'll be looking forward for your feedback/ideas.

Thank you!

Migrating from external server to Dovecot (doveadm sync issues)

[Sven Strickroth via dovecot]

Hi,

I'm experiencing serious issues when using doveadm sync not working at
all or do not properly sync. I wanted to use this for migrating external
mailboxes to my server (in order to overcome the time when some
servers/clients still use the old server and some already the my server).

I tried to find a few steps in order to replicate this:
For testing purposes I simulate both the remote and local server on my
Dovecot instance. I created rem...@domain.tld and lo...@domain.tld both
use mdbox and are empty (i.e., the mail_location is still non-existent).

Then I send two mails to rem...@domail.tld (Subjects: Test1 and Test2).

Start backup remote IMAP account (rem...@domain.tld) to local account
(lo...@domain.tld):
* doveadm -o imapc_user="rem...@domain.tld" -o imapc_password="PW" -o
imapc_host="localhost" -o mail_prefetch_count=20 -o
imapc_features="rfc822.size fetch-headers" backup -R -u lo...@domain.tld
imapc:
(without this I often got errors such as "Error: Backend didn't update
mailbox Trash GUID" on sync runs, which seems to be an unrecoverable error).

Now the two mailboxes seem to be the same (can confirm this when logging
into the two mailboxes).

Now, run first sync:
* doveadm -o imapc_user="rem...@domain.tld" -o imapc_password="PW" -o
imapc_host="localhost" -o mail_prefetch_count=20 -o
imapc_features="rfc822.size fetch-headers" sync -R -u lo...@domain.tld
imapc:

Seems to work and does nothing at the moment.

Deliver one message to lo...@domain.tld (Subject Test3).

* doveadm -o imapc_user="rem...@domain.tld" -o imapc_password="PW" -o
imapc_host="localhost" -o mail_prefetch_count=20 -o
imapc_features="rfc822.size fetch-headers" sync -R -u lo...@domain.tld
imapc:
Now Test1,2,3 are in both mailboxes (further runs do change nothing).
Everything OK up the here.

Now deliver one messages to rem...@domain.tld (Test4) and delete one old
message (Test3). Deliver two messages to lo...@domain.tld (Subjects
Test5 and Test6) and delete one message (Test2).
In sum both mailboxes look like this:
rem...@domain.tld has Test1,2,4 and lo...@domain.tld has 1,3,5,6.

Now sync:
* doveadm -o imapc_user="rem...@domain.tld" -o imapc_password="PW" -o
imapc_host="localhost" -o mail_prefetch_count=20 -o
imapc_features="rfc822.size fetch-headers" sync -R -u lo...@domain.tld
imapc:
dsync(lo...@domain.tld): Warning: Mailbox changes caused a desync. You
may want to run dsync again: 3 UIDs changed due to UID conflicts

Rerun again and see that mails start duplicating and deletings are not
synced: rem...@domain.tld: Test1,2,4,3,5,6,5,6,6,5,3,4 (12 mails) and
lo...@domain.tld: 1,6,4,3,5,6,4,3,5,6,5 (11 mails)

When I re-run again I sometimes see the above error message again, mails
keep duplicating in both mailboxes and the mailboxes are not synced at all.

Am I using doveadm sync wrongly? Is there a way to use "sync" directly
w/o backup from the beginning (i.e., how to get rid of the error "Error:
Backend didn't update mailbox Trash GUID").

Context:
# 2.2.27 (c0f36b0): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# Pigeonhole version 0.4.16 (fed8554)
# OS: Linux 4.9.0-8-amd64 x86_64 Debian 9.8
imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail

I can't upgrade to latest Dovecot right now. :(

Does rfc822mailmember contain the domain?

When an user logs into Dovecot, the login process can extract the domain

But, for doveadm index, not. It ignores that variable and tries to pass a
base search without domain. So, the search will not working.

This is the command:
# doveadm -v index -A  INBOX


If you iterate all users (-A), doveadm would need to guess all domains and 
iterate through them. So, in your case you cannot use -A. However, -u 
should work. That is, you call the command for each single user that 
you've iterated from LDAP via script.

[Dovecot] doveadm index - Bug or expected behaviour?

[Bruno Galindro da Costa]

My ldap config is using the variable %d in base search for domain
replacement when dovecot will search for users in LDAP. Its works fine for
dovecot operation.

But, for doveadm index, not. It ignores that variable and tries to pass a
base search without domain. So, the search will not working.

This is the command:
# doveadm -v index -A  INBOX


This is my config:
# cat /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-userdb.conf
hosts = 10.0.0.1
tls = no
auth_bind = no
ldap_version = 3
base = ou=%d,ou=mail,ou=services,dc=domain
scope = subtree
deref = never
user_filter = (& (cn=%n)(objectclass=nisMailAlias)(ContaAtiva=TRUE) )
user_attrs =
cn=rfc822mailmember,EmailQuota=quota_rule=*:storage=%$M,EmailQuotaSpecial=quota_rule=*:storage=%$M,eduPersonPrincipalName=eppn
iterate_filter =
(&(objectclass=nisMailAlias)(ContaAtiva=TRUE)(!(EmailQuota=0)))
iterate_attrs = rfc822mailmember=user


This is the error reported by doveadm index:
doveadm(root): Error: User listing returned failure
doveadm: Error: Failed to iterate through some users


If you put a tcpdump to monitor the search, you i'll see 3 packets. The
first is the LDAP searchRequest message, with this content:
LDAPMessage searchRequest(3) "*ou=,*ou=mail,ou=services,dc=domain"
wholeSubtree


If I change the base parameter of config file to this, it works perfectly:
base = ou=net.domain,ou=mail,ou=services,dc=domain

tcpdump:
LDAPMessage searchRequest(3)
"*ou=**net.domain**,*ou=mail,ou=services,dc=domain"
wholeSubtree

[Dovecot] "doveadm fetch" fetches mails twice?

[Peer Heinlein]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1



As far as I understood

fetch -u p.heinl...@jpberlin.de hdr mailbox-guid [...]93d5 uid 58175

should fetch exactly the header of the specified mail. But on my
Dovecot 2.2.12 it fetches the header *twice* (same with body, same
with text).

We're running multiple instances on the same server.

a seperate anvil-Socket doesn't work at all:

It just shows up the help message.

This should be fixed in v2.2.13.

[Dovecot] Doveadm sometimes failed "to iterate through some users" after upgrade to 2.2

[Alessio Cecchi]

Hi,

I'm running every week in cron "doveadm expunge -A mailbox Spam before 
30d" and monthly "doveadm quota recalc -A".


After the upgrade to dovecot 2.2.12 (from 2.1.17), "doveadm -A" 
sometimes exit with this error:


doveadm(u...@domain.com): Error: User listing returned failure
doveadm: Error: Failed to iterate through some users
# echo $?
75

If I re-run the same command the user where doveadm stops changeing 
(always in alphabetical order):


info@
mario@
pippo@
zazza@

and finally, after 3 or 4 run, ends with success.

I have enable debug (via doveadm -D and auth/mail debub in 
10-logging.con) but there are no errors or difference in the log when 
doveadm exit with the error (error code is 75).


If I run

# doveadm expunge -A mailbox Spam savedbefore 30d

doveadm works fine

Can somebody help me?

I'd suggested to _not_ import, but migrate the messages.

However, doveadm import -u user maildir:... "" all
works for me, but my target user already has ~/Maildir/{new,cur,tmp}.

Well, maybe you could call the "homedirectory" in the sense of Dovecot
as "directory where to put files relatively to by default', see
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation sec. "homeless useres".

I though mb2md supports "-d destdir", and to patch subscribe :

cd <>
echo INBOX >subscribe
ls -d .??* |grep '^\.' | sed -e 's/^\.//' >>subscribe

I don't know if I fully understand your question. I am trying to  
import mail from an old system running mbox (inbox in  
/var/mail/username and the rest in /home/username/mail/), to a new  
system running Postfix/Dovecot with virtual mailboxes for separate  
domains. So the mail users on the new system do not have a linux  
account anymore and therefore no homedir either. Their mail is stored  
by the virtual mail handler in /home/vmail/domain.nl/username/. Worth  
mentioning maybe that initially it used /var/vmail/ but I moved it  
from /var to /home for reasons of file system space and edited the  
postfix- and dovecot configs accordingly.


As a test I copied some individual mbox files from the old system to a  
temporary folder on the new one and tried to import those files to the  
corresponding maildirs of the users on the new system using doveadm  
import, which failed. Maybe it simply does not work that way and  
should I go for the direct full mbox>maildir conversion from the old  
server to the new one.


As you suggested earlier, copying to maildir converted box manually to  
the vmail folders and editing the subscriptions file is a way to get  
it to work but it is very labour intensive.

[Dovecot] doveadm auth and the "nologin" extra field

[Axel Luttgens]

Hello,

Still busy with details...

Considering, as in my previous example, a password_query returning '!' or NULL 
for the "nologin" column, depending on an account's status (suspended or not).

Let's consider a suspended user "some.user".

In the case of a successful authentication, one has:

sh-3.2# doveadm auth test some.user goodpassword; echo $?
passdb: some.user auth succeeded
extra fields:
  user=some.user
  nologin
0

On the other hand, in the case of an authentication failure:

sh-3.2# doveadm auth test some.user badpassword; echo $?
passdb: some.user auth failed
extra fields:
  user=some.user
  nologin=!
77

So, this is similar to what happens in a connection (pop3, imap...): when 
present, the nologin info is always taken into account, even in the case of an 
authentication failure.

Again, this may raise some concerns about the consistency of such a behavior.
Is this guaranteed to always behave that way, because of some rationale I'm 
currently missing, or does it go about some overlooked combination, liable to 
be inadvertently "corrected" in the future?
I haven't been able to find a definitive answer in the wiki or in the code 
about such matters.

This is particularly important in the case of doveadm, since its output 
requires parsing for extracting such informations (the exit code alone isn't 
sufficient); should above behavior be changed without notice, and a script 
could suddenly take the worst decisions...

BTW, why:
  nologin
in the first output, and:
  nologin=!
in the second output?


TIA,
Axel

[Dovecot] doveadm mailbox command in multi instance setup

[Peer Heinlein]

We're running Dovecot in a multipe instance cluster with individual
userdb-querys to different LDAP-Servers.

As far as I can see there's no way to use the

doveadm mailbox

command with different Auth-Sockets or different configurations.

While

root@dobby4:/etc/dovecot# doveadm user -a
/var/run/dovecot-xy/auth-master  p.heinl...@example.com
field   value
uid 1
gid 1
home/mail/example.com/123456/
mailmdbox:~/mdbox
quota_rule2 *:storage=50G


is working, using

doveadm -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot-xy.conf mailbox list -u
p.heinl...@example.com

does NOT an (user unknown).

How can use a different auth socket with "doveadm mailbox" commands?

(Maybe using the network socket could be a working way, but what about
normal way on the command line?)

Hello,

looks like a cosmetical problem but I like to mention it though:

doveadm stats top is interactive. To exit I press as usual CTRL+C and get

[Dovecot] doveadm table formatter: hidden titles may cause misaligned headers

[Julian Reich]

Hello,

I recently noticed a small bug in the doveadm table formatter: hidden titles 
may cause the headers to be misaligned.
The behavior in question was introduced by commit 
 and
  doveadm -f table quota get -A
may be used to reproduce it.

Most simple patch attached: it simply restores the old behavior, to some extent.
Actually hiding those titles may be desired.

Regards,
Julian Reich

I don’t see why sudo should matter here. I can’t reproduce this, it always 
works no matter what I do. Do you have two different doveadm commands in 
different paths (sudo vs non-sudo path)? The way the -i parameter works is 
simply:

1. Look at the “instances” in the built-in configured STATE_DIR (doveconf -d 
state_dir)
2. Find the instance name from the file (2nd parameter) and the base_dir (3rd 
parameter)
3. Get the base_dir/dovecot.conf symlink’s destination path
4. Use that path as the config file



I only have 1 doveadm binary, and I have an alias set up for it:

alias doveadm="sudo -E PATH=$PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
/home/user/apps/dovecot/bin/doveadm"


I later found out that if I change the base_dir for both instances to a 
different folder, the problem went away, so it appeared to grab the 
default base_dir when I told it to use the Director instance.

Hi,

It sounds you have forgotten to mount /dev in the jail. You can
consult http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/jails-build.html for all
steps to do this.


Thanks Frank.  /dev is mounted.

In the jail:

# ls /dev
fd  log nullptmxpts random  stderr  stdin   stdout  
urandom zero


From the jail host:

$ mount | grep myjail | grep dev
devfs on /usr/jails/myjail/dev (devfs, local, multilabel)
fdescfs on /usr/jails/myjail/dev/fd (fdescfs)

Dovecot, Postfix, & Bacula are running fine.

We're running Dovecot 2.1.17 on Debian:

# OS: Linux 2.6.32-042stab078.27.debug i686 Debian 7.1 simfs

and we're having this namespace configuration:

mail_location = mdbox:/var/mail/%Ld/%Ln/mdbox

namespace inbox {
  disabled = no
  hidden = no
  ignore_on_failure = no
  inbox = yes
  list = yes
  location =

As you can see, our namespace seperator is "." and not "/":

* LIST (\HasChildren) "." INBOX.test
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." INBOX.test.huhu
* LIST (\HasNoChildren \Trash) "." Trash
* LIST (\HasChildren) "." INBOX
a OK List completed.

The problem is, that doveadm isn't able to import his own mdbox-directory:

1) delete the whole mdbox folder

# rm -rf mdbox

2) create the new mdbox folder and create some subfolders in it

# doveadm  mailbox create -u max.muster  INBOX.test
# doveadm  mailbox create -u max.muster  INBOX.test.huhu

3) put a mail into a subfolder

4) try to re-import the whole mdbox: it doesn't work

# doveadm  import -u max.muster mdbox:mdbox BACKUP all
doveadm(max.muster): Error: Couldn't create mailbox
BACKUP.INBOX/test/huhu: Character not allowed in mailbox name: '/'

Looks like there's something wrong in the namespace or like doveadm is
working with a hardcoded internal namespace...

Thank you for following up. I haven't had the chance to get back to

Re: [Dovecot] Doveadm with a 2nd Instance

[Chris Lasater]

Hey Rob,
I figured this one out.   The bug is associated with the default 
run/dovecot base_dir.  If you move both instances to a different 
location then (or at least the one named dovecot) it works fine and I 
can control both instances properly.

I have noticed the same thing. It seems that doveadm ignores -i. 
"dovecot" works with -c /path/to/other/dovecot.conf, but it too 
ignores -i.

We got the idea to try -i  from 
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/Instance , but "doveadm help"

And this is a big problem for trying to use "doveadm director"
commands when the director instance uses the nonstandard paths. I 
haven't found a way to do that yet! "-c /path/to/other/dovecot.conf" 
didn't work.

Hi Guys,
I am trying to use 2 instances of Dovecot on the same server so I can

doveconf seems to work fine.

I have stopped and started both my instances so the config running is 
what is in the config file, but when I use -i Director with doveadm it 
uses the other instances config.

Any ideas, or does anyone have any experience with the Dovecot instance 
feature?

You need to grep for "EX_" and/or "doveadm_exit_code".

doveadm returns the sysexits.h error codes. 67 means "unknown user". 16640 (or 
anything above 127) means a crash or something.

Hello,

I'm trying to find out what the different 'doveadm mailbox create' error

I did determine that '65' happens when "Error: Can't create mailbox x:

[Dovecot] doveadm sync only creates directories, don't sync messages?

[Matthew Kaufman]

Running Dovecot 2.1.7.

I'm trying to migrate from an environment with mbox files to a maildir 
configuration.


I remove all vestiges of my maildir over in /var/mail

I put my old mailboxes in ./Mail and my old inbox in ./matthew.

I issue this command: doveadm sync  -u matt...@matthew.at 
mbox:./Mail:INBOX=./matthew


Initially it gave me errors about separator, so I set the separator in 
the inbox namespace to "/" explicitly.


Now that I've done that, and re-run it, over in the right place 
/var/mail, it creates "matthew" and a subdirectory "Mail". That's it. 
Doesn't take long to do it, either. But it doesn't copy any messages at all.


I must be doing something wrong... but what?

No.  The date.saved value is (I think) stored in its indices, and
is updated via IMAP operations.  This value is not derived from file
timestamps.  You can use doveadm fetch to get the values that dovecot uses

 dovecot -ftab fetch -A 'mailbox date.saved' mailbox Junk

If you actually use IMAP operations to move messages from INBOX to Junk,
I think you'll find that date.saved reflects the correct value.

Re: [Dovecot] doveadm expunge problems

[nicolasfo]

I just tried the doveadm search command :

doveadm search -u *@mydomain.fr MAILBOX Junk : this command lists all emails
in Junk users folders : OK

doveadm search -u *@mydomain.fr MAILBOX Junk savedbefore 1d : don't lists
anything..

What am I missed ?

Is this the good way to change file date (touch) and by this way, have
results to savedbefore command ?

Thanks

Hello


I want to transfer an email from us...@domain.com to put it in a folder of

For that, it seems to me appropriate to use 'doveadm move' command, but I can

syntax:
doveadm move [-u |-A] [-S ]  [user ] 


my attempts:

doveadm move -u us...@domain.com DIRECTORY_2 mailbox

Assuming that you looked at "man doveadm-move" (I had to dig for a few 
minutes to uncover that)...


EXAMPLE
Move jane's messages - received in September 2011 - from her INBOX into 
her archive.


doveadm move -u jane Archive/2011/09 mailbox INBOX BEFORE \
2011-10-01 SINCE 01-Sep-2011

At a guess... "Archive/2011/09" can be either a path relative to the 
origin user, or an absolute destination such as:


maildir:/backup/20101126/jane.doe/Maildir

I don't know if it automatically handles putting the proper permissions 
on the destination files though.  I'm basing that guess on the examples 
at the bottom of "man doveadm-import".

Re: [Dovecot] doveadm index crashes when indexing shared mailboxes

[W. de Hoog]

Hi,


We store our mail archive in a tree of subfolders. I am trying to speed up text searching 
on our mail archive but when running "doveadm -D -v index -u neil 
shared/Exalon/Aandeelhouders" the following output is produced:

..

doveadm(neil): Panic: file mbox-storage.c: line 711 (mbox_transaction_unlock): assertion 
failed: (mbox->box.transaction_count > 
  0 || mbox->mbox_lock_type == F_UNLCK)


mbox is a pretty difficult format, and I wouldn't recommend using it for 
anything else than small simple legacy setups.

After changing the format to sdbox indexing works.

Re: [Dovecot] doveadm altmove to gzipped-mdbox

Timo,

thanks for your answer.
If i understand this correctly than it's not possible to work in primary 
storage with uncompressed mdbox (because of better performance) and move 
older Mails to alternate storage in compressed Format.

I think that command should have worked, assuming zlib plugin was

well for those files where it was moving mails away from (altmove runs

[Dovecot] doveadm search causes replication error message

[Oli Schacher]

Hi

# 2.2.1 (83d83f55e5c2+) / dsync replicated setup

I just noticed that 'doveadm search' apparently tries to replicate
mailboxes and spits out errors if a mailbox in the search query is not
found:

#doveadm search -u u...@example.com mailbox Spamreport
doveadm(u...@example.com): Error: Syncing mailbox Spamreport
failed: Mailbox doesn't exist: Spamreport

this is especially problematic with -A searches as this causes a error
message for every user which doesn't have that folder.
Is this a bug or intended behaviour? Should I just 2>/dev/null these
errors in doveadm scripts?

Thanks

Oh. Hmm. Yeah, looks like doveadm nowadays ignores ACLs when listing mailboxes.

No. It's enabled in global mail_plugins:
mail_plugins = " virtual acl zlib notify mail_log quota listescape stats fts

imap_acl only in protocol imap, of course.

Added this finally :) http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.1/rev/8cc28a5a3f4f

I was also considering using just another parameter to existing commands
to specify the separator, but it was a bit more difficult to implement.
Also I couldn't figure out any good parameter letter that wasn't already
in use.

There are several bugs dealing with what you are doing.  They are 
currently in the works and will be fixed in a future release of Dovecot.


1) Crypt hashes should not have the {...} prefix.  The $2a$ is the 
prefix that specifies the Eksblowfish crypt hash, just like $1$ 
specifies the MD5 crypt hash.  doveadm blindly puts the {...} in front 
of all hashes, which is a bug.  When the program goes to verify the 
hash, it passes the entire string including the {...} part to crypt, 
which fails, since it does not know what to do with it.


2) The Eksblowfish hash (the $2a$) was originally written on OpenBSD by 
Niels Provos and David Mazières and was called Bcrypt (Bcrypt is the 
correct name, not BLF-CRYPT as is used in Dovecot).  It was rewritten by 
Alexander Peslyak.  This rewritten version became more popular with 
Linux distros.  This version, however, turned out to have a bug, which 
Peslyak later fixed, but it means that $2a$ hashes were incompatible 
based on which library they used: the original OpenBSD, or the buggy 
Peslyak one.  A new hash type, $2y was used to specify the correct hash. 
 Even OpenBSD switched to the new system to maintain compatibility, 
even though their original libraries were correct.


Depending on whether your Eksblowfish (Bcrypt) libraries have been 
updated or not, there could be a problem with the $2a$ hash.


First try to remove the {BLF-CRYPT} from your hash.  It is not needed, 
and may be enough for it to verify.  If it still does not verify, then 
you may have an issue with your crypt libraries.  You might, then try 
changing the $2a$ to $2y$ and see if that makes the Eksblowfish 
libraries happy.

Note that Dovecot has 3 timestamps:

 * sent date : The Date: header
 * received date : In maildir the file's mtime
 * save date : In maildir either in dovecot.index.cache or the file's ctime

The idea behind save date is that it gets reset when message is copied to 
another mailbox. (So e.g. if you want to delete all mails in Trash that were 
saved there over one week ago, you wouldn't want them to be deleted immediately 
because the message was received 2 years ago.)

Look at their save dates:

doveadm fetch -u jdoe 'date.save' all

If you want to search by received date, use "before" instead of "savedbefore".

Sure, at least in the global setting,
might be different for protocol imap or protocol lmtp.

http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/Quota

The quota get and quota recalc commands are only available when the global
mail_plugins setting contains the quota plugin.

[Dovecot] doveadm user error messages

[Thomas Leuxner]

I use 'doveadm user' in some scripts and the exit codes are fine for my 
purposes. During tests it transpired that Dovecot 2.1 would give an error 
message when querying for non-existent users. Dovecot 2.2 just exits without a 
word. Not sure this is intended behaviour:

$ doveadm user foo
$ echo $?
67

$ id foo
id: foo: No such user

That was only meant for global ACLs, not for per-user dovecot-acl files.

One of the steps surely beneficial to this would be implementing single file 
ACLs with wildcards (as discussed some time ago). This would take away the 
headache many ACL files per user would give...

Yeah.. I guess dsync will need to handle them. I've thought about this
for a few years and always thought "hopefully I won't need to implement
that soon". :)

v2.2 dsync protocol is extensible, although the code isn't so much.
Maybe v2.3 dsync could support plugins and the acl plugin could do the
syncing.. Or maybe simply hardcode dovecot-acl file syncing as "newest
timestamp wins".
