Hi
would it be possible to consider a new parameter for replication:
doveadm_local_ip which allows the source ip address to be set when
connection to a remote dovecot for replication?
It could be useful when the network interface has multiple ips and a
specific one is used for mail services. See attached proposal. I tested
against 2.2.36 only. It applies correctly against 2.3.4 with a warning,.
John
