Thanks Wietse and Viktor!

The solution for you would be that:

1) Postfix always records the original recipient, regardless of the
   enable_original_recipient setting, so that address verification
   works.

2) The enable_original_recipient parameter determines whether the
   original address will be used for address deduplication and
   whether it will show up in X-Original-To: headers, maillog
   records, and so on. This requires that a bunch of tests be
   replaced by with other tests. We can even introduce finer-grained
   control (enable_original_recipient = x-original-to, deduplication,
   logging, ...).

I would love to see this solution in an upcoming postfix release as it would simplify my setup and help to make it more robust.


Meanwhile, I have successfully tested two workarounds:

(1) Split up the verification and relay to Dovecot into separate
   Postfix instances using postmulti:

               verify   +----------------+  verify
            +---------->| postfix-verify |----------+
            | (group1@) +----------------+ (user1@) |
            |                                       v
 ext   +---------+                          +----------------+
------->| postfix |                          | dovecot (LMTP) |
       +---------+                          +----------------+
            |                                       ^
            |  relay    +----------------+  relay   |
            +---------->| postfix-relay  |----------+
              (group1@) +----------------+ (user1@)


   This actually does the job, but the Linux distribution support
   for postmulti is not satisfying - OpenSUSE has no postmulti support
   apart from shipping the binary and manpage, RHEL7/CentOS7/OEL7 tries
   to start the instances, but fails at the pidfiles. Debian at least
   succeeds starting the instances.
   None of the above has a concept to share common parts of the
   main.cf among the instances and updating the actual main.cf at
   (re-)starts/reloads.

Since I do not want to synchronize the configs manually, I decided for workaround option (2):

(2) relay_recipient_maps
   I have disabled recipient address validation and I'm querying
   directly the LDAP directory in order to check which recipients
   are valid on the Dovecot server - not nice, but seems to work.

Thanks,
Mathias.
