It seems to me that the proper way to do this is to have postfix give Dovecot the right information.

Both Dovecot and postfix should be looking at the same lookup.

Dovecot:
connect = host=localhost dbname=postfix user=dovecot password=password

postfix:

user = postfix
password = password
hosts = localhost
dbname = postfix

If they are accessing the same database, then there's no problem,. Postfix and Dovecot will always agree on the user name.

Of course, if you have LOCAL users, then that adds complications. I did this for years and finally moved all the local users into virtual as it is much simpler to keep track of. I resisted doing this for a long time because I'd started with local users only, but there are many issues with this when you have multiple domains. Using virtual via a database is much better.
