SYNC_SERVER(8) | Cyrus IMAP | SYNC_SERVER(8) |
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.
