Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm new to all this. How can I tell if postfix is deferring messages, or if it thinks they've been delieverd? Where is the postfix log?
How do I feed a message to dovecot-lda manually, as mailman?
How do I use LMTP instead of LDA?

to "virtual", I can send and receive messages just fine in roundcube. If I set virtual_transport to "dovecot", I can only send messages in roundcube, but incoming messages never arrive. Seems I can't get dovecot-lda to work. I need dovecot-lda in order for sieve filters to work.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Here's
doveconf -n: http://pastie.org/5401133
postconf -n: http://pastie.org/5401157and
postconf -M: http://pastie.org/5401177The only obvious thing I can see wrong there is that you have
mail_plugins = " sieve"in dovecot.conf, which should be
mail_plugins = sievebut I don't know that that would prevent delivery.
Is Postfix deferring the message, or does it think it's been delivered? What do you see in your logs when a message is delivered (since you've redirected Dovecot away from syslog, you'd need to look at both Postfix's and Dovecot's logs)?
What happens if you feed a message to dovecot-lda manually, as 'mailman'? Check the exitcode of lda and the logs, as well as seeing if the message was delivered.
Since you've set up a dedicated transport for Dovecot, it would probably be worth using LMTP instead of the LDA. It should be more efficient, and since you're only using a single virtual user you can tell dovecot to run the LMTP server as 'mailman' instead of root.
