<snip> 1) the mails reach your server at all (check your postfix logs) That is my problem, the mails do not get back to my server at all. the maillog file only shows me the ountgoing mails but nothing which indicates that a mail from outside is coming. The only mails I receive are from the linux system as such (background kobs finished, etc...)
Are you sure you have an MX record in the public DNS for your mailserver ? If not, outside mail will never reach you no matter what you configure on the server. It is not enough to have an open port 25 on yours server ! Anyway, dovecot is innocent here.
