This is a Postfix problem, not a Dovecot one. It says that the 
recipient domain is in this list:

> mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, 
> $mydomain

... but the "hoda" user or alias does not exist in /etc/passwd nor 
/etc/aliases.

See:
    http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html
    http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_CLASS_README.html

The "upgrade" advice is very good. You should not be starting out 
with something so long past the end of its support.

Follow up on Postfix issues on the Postfix list. However, your issue 
will probably be solved with some time in the documentation.
