[Dovecot] Postfix with Deliver (LDA) - user unknown

[Branislav Baca]

You have set in the main.cf:
virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/mail/postfix/vmailboxes
but dovecot deliver is using userdb for this purpose, which you have set to
passwd. Have you equivalent data in both places? Similary nearly all
configuration parameters in the main.cf of the postfix starting with
virtual_??? are not required, but should be provided by userdb for dovecot
deliver.
