I thought this was a directory ownership problem. /var/mail/vmail/...
was owned by dovenull:dovecot. In any previous Dovecot+Postfix
installation I've had, it's been owned by postfix:postfix. using chown
on this directory tree didn't fix the problem:

Note that despite RFC2181 a non-trivial fraction of domains do set
the "exchange" portion of an MX RR to a name that is a CNAME alias.
I am not aware of any MTAs that
OK, I'm a rank amature at this. I'll take the CNAME record out. My mx
record looks OK with "10 mail.{my-FQDN}". I will create an A record
called mail which will point to my machine's IP address. I have no NS
records at this time.

On a whim, I change the DNS record for mail from A to CNAME.
That's a weird and dangerous whim. Hostnames that are used as the value
for MX records MUST have A records and hence MUST NOT have CNAME
records. The CNAME *MIGHT* work if done

Don’t do that.

The domain name used as the value of a NS resource record, or part of
the value of a MX resource record must not be an alias. Not only is
Things are definitely getting better, but not enough to make eighteen
users happy yet.
The manual granting of privileges in MySQL stopped the virtual alias
errors entirely.
More syslog checking revealed I did not have policyd-spf installed. I
took care of that, but neglected to comment

Thanks, Noel. Very helpful. MySQL is definitely installed and working,
but I don't know about Milter, as it was set up by someone else who
didn't quite do well by me in educating me in the find points of Postfix
management, which is why I am where I am today. I'll get on that and
report back.
