After a long time running (fine) with sendmail I finally found out the
problem. 30cm in front of the computer
If I give the argument like that
type = MDA_external
path = /usr/syno/mailstation/libexec/dovecot/deliver
arguments = ("-d","virtualu...@domain.net",)
then it works like charm :-)
Thanks for the links (the 2nd one had the solution)

That was the idea. First I tried to use getmail_fetch which allows to
specify a virtual username on the command line. It received the emails and
put them into the virtual users Maildir. But with getmail_fetch I could not
see to integrate the email received into Spamassassins scannig process.
So the idea with sendmail was just the one which works as wished. So my rc
File (dest part) looks like that
<<
[destination]
type = MDA_external
path = /usr/syno/mailstation/sbin/sendmail
arguments = ("vu...@virtual-domain.tld",)
>>
I know that I should update the dovecot as well but my system is a NAS
system. And as I use this system for my email accounts I don't want to risk
to update the dovecot. But next week I will receive a second NAS server
which I will use for backups. But before I will try to install an up-to-date
Dovecot-Version and see if everything works fine with the firmware from the
manufactor.
Best regards

The error message from deliver is something like "deliver unknown argument -d username" (I will check the exact message this evening after work). As well I will post the content of the destination section from my rc file which tries so invoke deliver for mail delivery to virtual account. I'm pretty sure that the error message comes from deliver as the program name (deliver) is mentioned in the logfiles with the error message -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/getmail-and-Dovecot-LDA-deliver-tp24896318p24896701.html Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

I tried with the -d agrument in my getmail rc File, but deliver never accepts the parameter -d (always says unknown parameter -d). Either you're using some really ancient deliver version or the error message comes from getmail or something else besides deliver. So, what Dovecot version do you use? And also copy&paste the exact error message (and maybe other messages too) that you get. And the getmailrc could help too.
