"inefficient replication" / SYNCERROR: only exists on replica

[Karl Pielorz]

Hi,

Our pair of 2.4.17 servers seem to be sync'd Ok - but daily now I get a 
series of messages such as the ones below in syslog on the Master:

"

These mailboxes receive high traffic - and have annotations on them to 
expire the mail after 'x' days (30 I think it is) - so it's conceivable 
they'll be loosing for this one say 200-300 messages as they 'expire'.

Are these warnings harmless?

With Master -> Replica replication - should the replica be running 
cyr_expire at all?

Does replication copy across mailbox annotations (i.e. the expiry limit) 
from the master mailboxes to those on the slave?


Thanks,
