12
14 sync_server is the server side of the the replication system. It runs
15 on the target (replica) system and listens for connections from
16 sync_client(8) which provides instructions for synchronizing the
17 replica system with the master system.
18
19 sync_server reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5)
20 file unless specified otherwise by -C.
21
23 -C config-file
24 Use the specified configuration file config-file rather than the
25 default imapd.conf(5).
26
27 -p ssf Tell sync_server that an external layer exists. An SSF (secu‐
28 rity strength factor) of 1 means an integrity protection layer
29 exists. Any higher SSF implies some form of privacy protection.
