NAME

       sync_server - Cyrus IMAP documentation

       Server side of the synchronization (replication) engine

SYNOPSIS

       sync_server [ -C config-file ] [ -p ssf]

DESCRIPTION

       sync_server is the server side of the the replication system.  It runs on the target (replica) system and
       listens  for  connections  from  sync_client(8) which provides instructions for synchronizing the replica
       system with the master system.

       sync_server reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified  otherwise  by
       -C.

OPTIONS

       -C config-file
              Use the specified configuration file config-file rather than the default imapd.conf(5).

       -p ssf Tell  sync_server  that an external layer exists.  An SSF (security strength factor) of 1 means an
              integrity protection layer exists.  Any higher SSF implies some form of privacy protection.

EXAMPLES

       sync_server is commonly included in the SERVICES section of cyrus.conf(5) like so:

       SERVICES {
           imap        cmd="imapd -U 30" listen="imap" prefork=0
           imaps       cmd="imapd -s -U 30" listen="imaps" prefork=0 maxchild=100
           pop3        cmd="pop3d -U 30" listen="pop3" prefork=0
           pop3s       cmd="pop3d -s -U 30" listen="pop3s" prefork=0 maxchild=100
