In the dovecot-lda log, I am now seeing some action, but there is a

permissions problem somewhere:

May 09 12:43:13 lda: Fatal: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information.

Following up my earlier mail, perhaps I am being obtuse here; I've changed the permissions of auth-userdb to 666, although I have no idea what these files in /var/run/dovecot are. These appears to solve the problem above.

Renabling dovecot lda in Postfix, I try sending myself a message; however it gets bounced: "user unknown" (/var/log/maillog):

If I comment out this line in main.cf, and restart Postfix, things work again:

# virtual_transport = dovecot

Any ideas on what is going wrong here? I feel I am almost there.
