Replication sync-server and Delayed Delete

[Gavin Gray]

Hi there,

We have a cyrus murder using replication and we have a few questions about  
the behaviour we are seeing on our system.

1. cyr_expire on the master doesn't cause any replication to happen. Is  
that 'correct'? In other words if we want to delete folders from the  
DELETED heirarchy on the replicant then we need to also run cyr_expire on  
the replicant?

2. We're also a little unclear about replication vis a vis the  delayed  
expunge and the unexpunge facility. Could you explain what ought to happen  
in terms of replication when email is expunged and then possibly  
unexpunged if anything?

3. We are seeing a strange anomaly on the replication of deleting a folder.
    e.g a user deletes a folder
        the folder goes into the DELETED heirarchy of the partition the  
user's mailbox is on
        the folder is also deleted from the replicant as we would expect
        however the folder on the replicant goes into the DELETED heirarchy  
on a different partition(the default     partition as specified in  
cyrus.conf). Is this normal?

many thanks,

Gavin Gray
