Strange...
postfix   1315  0.0  0.1 121220  7472 ?        S    12:59   0:00 pipe -n 
dovecot -t unix flags=DRhu user=vmail vmail 
argv=/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} -a ${recipient} -d 
${user}@${nexthop} -m PreINBOX

I notice that the arg to pipe is 'user=vmail vmail' instead of 
'user=vmail:vmail'. This is strange. I certanly have a colon on the 
master.cf file.

According to 'man pipe' the correct syntax is user=<user>:<group> so I 
can only assume this is where it's going wrong somehow.
