Howdy BB! Hopefully this helps to answer your questions...
/etc/mail/postfix/vmailboxes contains:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] test/
/etc/passwd contains:
test:*:5000:5000:test account for email:/var/mailboxes/test:/nonexistent
probably you need here to have a full [EMAIL PROTECTED] name. i.e:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:*:5000:5000:test account for
email:/var/mailboxes/test:/nonexistent
The reason for the virtual_* stuff is that I am testing each program
configuration as I set up a new SMTP server. The goal is to move all
the virtual_* settings to MySQL. However, I want to walk before I run.
Not sure if that is part of my problem.?.
Of course, you can leave it there, I've just said it is not necessary
for dovecot to work. Also try to avoid using mysql, except you have
dedicated mysql server or playing on small site with a lot of RAM. This
is by my own experiences. LDAP is probably better solution but more
complex to setup.
Thanks for your assistance!

You have set in the main.cf:
virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/mail/postfix/vmailboxes
but dovecot deliver is using userdb for this purpose, which you have
set to
passwd. Have you equivalent data in both places? Similary nearly all
configuration parameters in the main.cf of the postfix starting with
virtual_??? are not required, but should be provided by userdb for
dovecot
deliver.

Good Day All! I am attempting to configure deliver as our LDA. I am
also configuring the server to use Postfix instead of Sendmail. I
have followed the all the documentation and examples I could find.
Below are my Dovecot and Postfix configs. Can someone please smack me
upside the head and tell me why I am getting "user unknown" errors?
If i don't use deliver as the LDA, all works perfectly. Help...
TIA,
