Not really.  The only drawback is that created mailboxes on the master 
won't be on the replica.  As soon as it receives email it will be added 
on the replica.

You could get around it by forcing a sync of the mailbox manually after 
you create the user on the master.

To know what mailbox.  The easiest way is doing a ctl_mboxlist -d to a 
file and look in it to see how you need to name the mailbox.  In my case 
it's like ugent.be!user.rudy^ugent.be
