Still trying to get past authorization problems

Got all the Postfix errors fixed but maybe one, so I don't think that's 
involved in this mix any more.


I had a domain definition problem, got that sorted.


The accounts' logins are correct. I tried several from the shell, and 
they let me in.


Here's the minus-n output, not very different from the first time I 
posted it:

These from dovecot.log just keep going round and round.
