Re: [Dovecot] Replication with virtual users and static userdb possible ?
I'm trying to avoid switching the userdb from a nice simple static
setup to something else to enable replication. Is there anyone using
replication with a virtual user configuration ? How did you do it ?
Actually, anyone doing replication at all - what does your config look
like ?
Thanks -

Re: [Dovecot] Replication with virtual users and static userdb possible ?
Is there no-one out there using replication with virtual users ? If
so how did you do it ?
I just *know* someone is going to point me to a
simple page describing how to do it ...

virtual users ( userid @ domain.com : secretpassword) are kept in a

be enabled, but that's not available for a static userdb. The wiki
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/Static [2] also says that it
shouldn't be a problem because it will use do a passdb lookup instead
(except for PAM which isn't used here). Unfortunately, it's not working.

Re: [Dovecot] Replication with virtual users and static userdb possible ?
Ugh, stuff got mangled in formatting below. Anyway, I've had no luck
with
various permutations, so it's looking like a virtual-user setup can't
make
use of replication ?
I guess what I want is for it to activate replication upon ANY
notification
of updated emails.
