I noticed that the statement has /var/vmail//rakka. Is the // ok? I'm 
not sure what else could be wrong with the SQL part. Postfixadmin should 
have populated the database right? It said it did on the setup.

I tried with rakka at domain and this is my log on that attempt

Dec 31 11:42:50 mail dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=5575
Dec 31 11:42:59 mail dovecot: auth(default): client in:

attempts): method=PLAIN, rip=64.33.164.10, lip=192.168.1.9


Now that was the output of mail.log. I am having an issue in mail.err 
also I guess. Here's the most recent output of that.

Dec 31 11:33:29 mail postfix/master[5377]: fatal: 
/etc/postfix/master.cf: line 82: field "private": bad value: "--n"

And this is the statement on 82.

dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:mail 
argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot-postfix.conf -f 
${sender} -d $(recipient)
