this have nothing to do with dovecot imho ?

if mta is postfix remove mydestination domains to virtual domains, eccept 
localhost

and then in postfix virtual have the user that wants to have mail, mapped back 
to local:
delivery with dovecot still as lda

vioal solved nicely

remove unneded local alias as well

 It's a bit of a security/maintenance irritation - I don't want to check for 
 such spam mail,
 since that is possible.

what problem ?, if you follow the above there is no problem

 Thanks for any help!!  Answer preferably given, so that I can configure it 
 through webmin
 please.

This has nothing to do with Dovecot.  Configure your SMTP server not to
accept mail for system groups/users if that is really what you wish to do.
