Ok, i understand the procedure.
Which is the trigger that make kolabd to startup the local cleanup process?
Does it scan the entire ldap every x minutes to find out users that have
to be deleted and proceed doing cleanup?

Regarding the ldap flags this is immediatelly replicated to every slave
sever after i click "delete" .
The all the kolab servers keep the users in the ldap and in the cyrus
imap without deleting it forever :(

I verified that exactly the same kolab 2.1 installation , but without a
multi-site solution with slave servers, deleted immediatelly the users.

There are probably something to tweak regarding a multi-site
installation of kolab 2.1 to allow the users to be deleted.

I think so. It's a default configuration with 1 kolab masters and all
others kolab slaves.
