doveadm -A

[Signum]

Referring to https://doc.dovecot.org/2.4.2/core/config/auth/databases/sql.html#mysql

Specifically:

  # For using doveadm -A:
  iterate_query = SELECT userid AS username, domain FROM users

I assume that this should rather read:

  # For using doveadm user '*':
  iterate_query = SELECT userid AS username, domain FROM users

Can you elaborate a bit more? I think it probably should say both.

@cmouse "doveadm -A" does not work on my Dovecot 2.4 installation. I assume that the syntax is deprecated. That's why I would suggest to propose "doveadm user '*'". Does that make sense?

As far as I am aware, "-A" still works as of CE 2.4.2. If it doesn't, that is a bug.

On Dovecot 2.4.1 / Debian 13 ("Trixie"):

$> doveadm -A
doveadm: invalid option -- 'A'
Use doveadm --help for a list of available options and commands.

$> dovecot --version
2.4.1-4 (7d8c0e5759)

If that option works on Dovecot 2.4.2 again, then it's a specialty of 2.4.1 that ships with Debian 13.

"-A" is not a universal/global option for doveadm though. It only works for commands that iterate through users (e.g. "doveadm mailbox"). It doesn't make sense for more general admin commands (e.g. "doveadm stats"), so it can't be a global option.
