[Dovecot] Question regarding Postfix and Dovecot

[Daniel Reinhardt]

Thank you for point that out, so I went ahead and removed postfix, mysql,
and dovecot in hopes to start fresh and follow the guide I used previously.
 Yet Postfix still isnt sending mail to the virtual mailbox setting defined
in my dovecot config:

Here is the output of the postconf -n.  I aplogize for the postconf -d, as
I was not aware of the difference.
