Thanks, I am almost there. It turns out I was missing this line from 
Postfix master.cf:

dovecot   unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
   flags=DRhu user=vmail:mail argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d 
${recipient}

In the dovecot-lda log, I am now seeing some action, but there is a 
permissions problem somewhere:

May 09 12:43:13 lda: Debug: Loading modules from directory: 
/usr/local/lib/dovecot
May 09 12:43:13 lda: Debug: Module loaded: 
/usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib90_sieve_plugin.so
May 09 12:43:13 lda: Error: userdb lookup: 
connect(/var/run/dovecot//auth-userdb) failed: Permission denied 
(euid=200(vmail) egid=6(mail) missing +w perm: 
/var/run/dovecot//auth-userdb, euid is not dir owner)
May 09 12:43:13 lda: Fatal: Internal error occurred. Refer to server 
log for more information.

Any idea where the problem is?
