He is using a similar setup than mine and here I'm using Postfix for
local e-mail delivery (Fetchmail → Postfix → Cyrus (imap sever). It has
its uses and it turns out to be a very flexible and power solution. The
only difference is that I'n not using Procmail at all.

I would leave Postfix (or any other MTA) while using Dovecot.
