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 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
