And there is big fat warning at the top of the unbuntus's dovecot.conf
file:
# ------------------------------ WARNING -------------------------------

# If there's a file /etc/dovecot/dovecot-postfix.conf, which is part of
# dovecot-postfix package, it will be used instead of dovecot.conf.

# Keep in mind that, if that file exist, none of the changes in
# /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf will have effect on dovecot's configuration.
# In that case you should customize /etc/dovecot/dovecot-postfix.conf.

# ------------------------------ WARNING -------------------------------

Further more, the file /usr/share/doc/dovecot-postfix/README.Debian
contains:
"dovecot's init script checks existance of /etc/dovecot/dovecot-postfix.conf
and if that file exists, it reads it instead of /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf."

Sorry, but I really can't understand, why the most unbuntu users seems
to be unable to read AND understand so simple written documentation. :(
