You might be perfectly right here and to make it
more complicated I forgot to tell you that procmail
is also involved. I did debug a bit though and
lda-deliver will return the proper return code 75

my .maildelivery files contains the recommended (?)

"|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75"

And the procamail recipe has:

| deliver -d $ LOGNAME -m inbox

As the action (just one example).

But still my postfix thinks the message is properly
delivered at a read/write error in the mailstore ???

But this seems to be a postfix configuration problem instead of
a dovecot one so sorry for choosing the wrong group.
