[Dovecot] LDA questions

Hello,

I am looking at the docs and I see this:
Problems with deliver
    Namespaces are supported with v1.1 and later. With v1.0 and older
versions mails can be delivered only to mailboxes specified by the
mail_location setting.

But in the dovecot.conf I see:
# NOTE: Namespaces currently work ONLY with IMAP! POP3 and LDA currently
ignore
# namespaces completely, they use only the mail_location setting.

I am running 1.1.7 so is that a typo in the dovecot.conf or the wiki page..?


Also, I got postfix+dovecot configure to authenticate to Active Directory
using pam_krb5 and I am able to login and send emails with pop3 or imap, but
unable to receive emails since postfix complaints about the user not being
found in the local recipient table.

Now I have made a few changes, but I cant get to see deliver complaint, all
I see is:
postfix/smtpd[19924]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from ............: 550 5.1.1
<test1 at domain.com>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local
recipient table;

So I think that it is not being passed to deliver...

Master.cf has:
dovecot unix    -       n       n       -       -       pipe
  flags=DR user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} -d
${recipient}

Main.cf has:
virtual_mailbox_domains = your.domain.here
virtual_transport = dovecot

Any ideas..? 
Thanks
