Hi all
after lots of trial and error and the help of THIS mail list, finally my dovecot-postfix combination seems to work yet the dovecot mail spool always is empty all mail forwarded to my main mail server - but i have no mail relay configured.
why is the mail NOT in the dovecot inbox but forwarded to another mail server ?? and why does postconf -A show cyrus and NOT dovecot ??
below some relevant config data.
my goal is to have a clean simple dovecot+postfix mail system with nothing else (cyrus or so) involved when ever possible.
---------- DNS MX stuff
dig mx kriyayoga.com ;; ANSWER SECTION: kriyayoga.com. 3600 IN MX 10 smtp.kriyayoga.com. kriyayoga.com. 3600 IN MX 0 mail.kriyayoga.com.
the new dovecot setup is tested on smtp.kriyayoga.com and when successfully working shall be used on both mail MX servers.
postfix stuff relevant to dovecot
postconf -A cyrus
postconf -a cyrus dovecot
my postconf -n shows nothing about cyrus in the config NOR anything about mail-relay to my main MX
relayhost = mailbox_transport = mailbox_command = smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot virtual_transport = dovecot
---------- below the mail log for sending mail to my dovecot box

at this point the mail is gone already - NO mail in my dovecot inbox - NO error - just automatically relayed to my main MX
any help or tip or pointer to a howto is welcome and highly appreciated.
