Unless these are exceeding long, you probably should inline the contents
to save people from having to jump around to get the information to
help you.  It will also properly archive the context to the solution.

>From your logs, it appears your mail system does not know what user is
mapped to "someone at mydomain.com":

 	Nov  5 13:21:06 localhost postfix/local[11185]: 5716D8007B: to=<someone at mydomain.com>, relay=local, delay=0.59, delays=0.57/0.01/0/0.01, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (unknown user: "someone")

I don't know whether this message is produced by postfix or by dovecot,
but one thing I did notice is that your postfix configuration

 	mailbox_command = /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -c /etc/dovecot/conf.d/01-mail-stack-delivery.conf -m "${EXTENSION}"

has upper-case "EXTENSION", whereas the Dovecot wiki uses lower case:

 	http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix

If that's not it, maybe it's your SQL.  You can also ask dovecot
to look up user "somebody" and debug your way from there:

 	doveadm user somebody
