So not use users from /etc/passwd and

virtual_mailbox_domains = 
mydestination =

I think last two lines not for virtual, but for system users, so use
virtual_alias_maps instead

virtual_transport = dovecot

As far as I understand postfix also need to know users/mailboxes. So
there must be:
virtual_mailbox_maps = type:database

with database key equal to mailbox name and value with something (virtual
from postfix distribution wants path to mailbox/maildir). mailbox name
is u...@domain.

Those 2 links are too much.

Go here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo

And here: http://www.linuxmail.info/   <--- Dovecot + postfix

That's all you need.

Hi,

is there a *simple* HOWTO that explains a simple postfix+dovecot setup? 
Up to now, I used postfix+cyrus, worked fine. But I do not get 
postfix+dovecot to work. Currently, all emails go to /dev/null.


What really would help me is a dovecot lmtp server. Is there any?

Olaf,

I'm quite new to both postfix and dovecot. This probably does not qualify as "simple" but 
I found this link helpful:

Dovecot is much simpler than cyrus, so if you can do cyrus, you should
be able to handle dovecot...

But, it will help if you will follow the troubleshooting instructions:

Doevecot's LDA doesn't currently support lmtp...
