Do you plan to make it more performant in the future? I mean calling 
doveadm (and ssh) for every change -even when they are aggregated- seems 
to be very resource intensive, it won't keep up on a machine with a lot 
of modifications happening every seconds.

It would be good to have constantly running daemons on both sides to 
eliminate the high startup/teardown costs.

(if I understand things correctly)

Thanks for working on this.
