… The package "dovecot-postfix" installs and uses dovecot-postfix.conf but unfortunately also puts the default dovecot.conf in /etc/dovecot (driving everyone crazy who blindly follows howtos editing dovecot.conf). Highly recommended to remove/rename dovecot.conf in this configuration.
And there is big fat warning at the top of the unbuntus's dovecot.conf file: # ------------------------------ WARNING -------------------------------
# If there's a file /etc/dovecot/dovecot-postfix.conf, which is part of # dovecot-postfix package, it will be used instead of dovecot.conf.
# Keep in mind that, if that file exist, none of the changes in # /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf will have effect on dovecot's configuration. # In that case you should customize /etc/dovecot/dovecot-postfix.conf.

Further more, the file /usr/share/doc/dovecot-postfix/README.Debian contains: "dovecot's init script checks existance of /etc/dovecot/dovecot-postfix.conf and if that file exists, it reads it instead of /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf."
Sorry, but I really can't understand, why the most unbuntu users seems to be unable to read AND understand so simple written documentation. :(
I agree (that's why i wrote "..who *blindly* follows howtos"). Nevertheless, renaming /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf helps troubleshooting while using dovecot-postfix (forgetting -c when using deliver elsewhere for example)
