So postfix and Dovecot disagree about the mail storage of the accounts, 
either:

1) reconfigure postfix to deliver message to Maildir in
/var/vmail/domain/user at domain.tld, or

2) reconfigure postfix to use Dovecot LDA or LMTP, or

3) reconfigure Dovecot to use mbox:/var/vmail/domain/user as INBOX, but 
/var/vmail/domain/user at domain.tld/Maildir for mail home.
