[Dovecot] dovecot created mailbox empty - all mail forwarded to main MX server and cyrus-dovecot conflict

[Hans Neukomm]

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

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.
