Rubbish, if they use  virtual_transport = dovecot (like most because its
more flexible than postifixs virtual), postfix does ask dovecot to auth
the user, so of course it will do a lookup.

I do agree though that she should be using submission in postfix, and
IIRC, SA from master.cf is a backscatter source, it should be dumped and
amavisd-new used instead.

As Andrea does have something wrong and needs to look at the entire
setup, and since she uses debian, google shows some useful results, for
one -  workaround.org  it provides details for debian/postfix/dovecot
isp mail setup, just reading it for a few minutes, I don't agree with
all he writes, mostly for efficiency reasons, but his directions would
very certainly result in a working system.
