I have to admit that I am somewhat confused. You have "postfix" listed
as user/group in the dovecot.conf file, yet you have "vmail" listed as
the user in 'master.cf". That doesn't look right.
Do you actually have a user with uid 252?
I am assuming that you are not using "mydestination =
17.DOMAIN.NAMES.REDACTED" as a virtual delivery address. Virtual
domains must not be listed in "my destination". I could not find a
"virtual_mailbox_domains"
virtual_mailbox_domains ($virtual_mailbox_maps)
Postfix is final destination for the specified list
of domains; mail is delivered via the $vir-
tual_transport mail delivery transport.
Personally, I think that you should take this up on the Postfix forum.
Post the output of the "postfinger" and "dovecot -n" and I think that
you will be able to get your problem solved. It looks to me like you
have "virtual" configured incorrectly. It certainly is not configured
like I have it on my system. I use purely "vitual" users and have
"mydestination = " in main.cf on my system.
Mailing list: http://www.postfix.org/lists.html
Virtual documentaion: http://www.postfix.org/virtual.8.html
Post back if you get this fixed.
