NAME
doveadm−replicator − Manage users’ mail replication
SYNOPSIS
doveadm [−Dv] [−f formatter] **replicator **command [OPTIONS] [ARGUMENTS]
DESCRIPTION
The doveadm replicator COMMANDS can be used to manage the automated replication of users’ mail.
OPTIONS
Global doveadm(1) options:
| −D | Enables verbosity and debug messages. |
**−f **formatter
Specifies the formatter for formatting the output. Supported formatters are:
| flow | prints each line with key**=**value pairs. | ||
| pager | prints each key: value pair on its own line and separates records with form feed character (^L). | ||
| tab | prints a table header followed by tab separated value lines. | ||
| table | prints a table header followed by adjusted value lines. |
**−o setting=**value
Overrides the configuration setting from /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf and from the userdb with the given value. In order to override multiple settings, the −o option may be specified multiple times.
| −v | Enables verbosity, including progress counter. |
This command uses by default the output formatter flow (without the key= prefix).
Command specific options: **
−a **replicator_socket_path
This option is used to specify an absolute path to an alternative UNIX domain socket.
By default doveadm(1) will use the socket /run/dovecot/replicator−doveadm. The socket may be located in another directory, when the default base_dir setting was overridden in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf.
ARGUMENTS
user_mask
Specifies for which users the command should be executed. In most cases you would like to use patterns which contains wildcards, e.g. \*@example.net for all users of the example.net domain, or simply \* for all users.
When the SQL userdb module is used make sure that the iterate_query setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot−sql.conf.ext matches your database layout. When using the LDAP userdb module, make sure that the iterate_attrs and iterate_filter settings in /etc/dovecot/dovecot−ldap.conf.ext match your LDAP schema. Otherwise doveadm(1) will be unable to iterate over all users.
COMMANDS
replicator add
doveadm replicator add [−a replicator_socket_path] user_mask
Add the specified user(s) to the replicator. If the user_mask contains ”?” or ”*” wildcards, the list of usernames is looked up from the userdb.
replicator dsync-status
doveadm replicator dsync−status [−a replicator_socket_path]
Show the status for the currently running dsync processes.
replicator remove
doveadm replicator remove [−a replicator_socket_path] username
Remove the specified user from replicator.
replicator replicate
doveadm replicator replicate [−a replicator_socket_path] [−f] [−p priority] user_mask
Start replication for the specified users now. If the −f parameter is given, full replication is done for the user. You can also specify the priority, which can be either high or low. If the user mask contains ”?” or ”*” wildcards, the list of usernames is looked up from the users that currently exist in replicator (not from the userdb).
replicator status
doveadm replicator status [−a replicator_socket_path] user_mask
Show the replication status for users.
