11.10 upgrades dovecot from 1.2.x to 2.0.x; as a result the -n flag is
no longer accepted by dovecot-lda; You can fix this by removing the -n
flag from the postfix configuration;

 sudo postconf -e "mailbox_command = /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -c
/etc/dovecot/conf.d/01-mail-stack-delivery.conf -m \"\${EXTENSION}\""

This is a bug in the Ubuntu packaging; it would be great if you could
raise a bug in Ubuntu as well (I'll probably work on a stable release
update for this one):
