Syncjob API broken?

mailcow dockerized 2026-03b

The API is generally working for me. I added and edited users and added aliases without issue.

Syncjobs themselves are also working. I created two jobs via the WebUI and they’re running successfully.
Now i wanted to add a large batch via API but nothing happens - literally.

I get a http 200 respinse, but no sync job is added.
When i use /get/syncjobs/no_log, i get an empty json object (not even my two working jobs).

My api call looks fine?
curl -k -X POST https://mailcow.domain.tld/api/v1/add/syncjob -H 'X-API-Key: ***' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{ "username": "user@domain.tld", "host1": "10.1.2.3", "port1": "143", "user1": "user@domain.tld*superuser", "password1": "***", "enc1": "PLAIN", "mins_interval": "20", "maxage": "0", "maxbytespersecond": "0", "timeout1": "600", "timeout2": "600", "delete2duplicates": "1", "delete1": "0", "delete2": "1", "automap": "1", "skipcrossduplicates": "0", "subscribeall": "1", "active": "1" }'

To get all existing sync jobs you need to use “/get/syncjobs/all/no_log”.

To create a sync job you need to add the “exclude” property in the json body.
You can set to to an empty string or whatever regex you want to have for excluding source folders.

Double check the example on https://demo.mailcow.email/api/#/Sync%20jobs/Create%20sync%20job

This contains “exclude”: “(?i)spam|(?i)junk”

{
  "username": "lisa@mailcow.tld",
  "host1": "mail.mailcow.tld",
  "port1": "143",
  "user1": "demo@mailcow.tld",
  "password1": "supersecretpw",
  "enc1": "TLS",
  "mins_interval": "20",
  "subfolder2": "/SyncIntoSubfolder",
  "maxage": "0",
  "maxbytespersecond": "0",
  "timeout1": "600",
  "timeout2": "600",
  "exclude": "(?i)spam|(?i)junk",
  "custom_params": "--dry",
  "delete2duplicates": "1",
  "delete1": "1",
  "delete2": "0",
  "automap": "1",
  "skipcrossduplicates": "0",
  "subscribeall": "0",
  "active": "1"
}
