Usually your Transfer Agent (MTA, SMTP server) accepts mails from remote 
machines and forwards these to the delivery agent (MDA; often procmail or 
dovecot-lda, or a simple local MDA integrated into the MTA) which 
actually puts the mail into the mailbox depending on local delivery 
rules. Dovecot imapd / pop3d just offers mail which already ended up 
there.

So you'r problem is probably related to your MTA or MDA configuration and 
not to dovecot.

Greetings,
