dovecot - Aug 2014 - replicator only starts for users who log in at least once

Hi!

I recently setup a second with replication to the other. Both machines 
run ubuntu 12.04 with dovecot 2.2.13 (6bb26098a45c).

All users mail accounts are currently synced manually to the first 
(mb1) using a dsync script, they are synchronised from a cyrus imap 
server. Users are still logging into the cyrus server.

It appears that the only accounts that are replicated are ones who have 
logged into either of the dovecot servers at least once, is this how it 
is supposed to work? I was hoping to get full replication of all mail 
accounts before starting to move users into the new system.

Thanks,

Alan

To answer my own question:

doveadm replicator replicate 'user at domain'

In my migration script i now include this command for each user.
