Rubbish, if they use virtual_transport = dovecot (like most because its more flexible than postifixs virtual), postfix does ask dovecot to auth the user, so of course it will do a lookup. I do agree though that she should be using submission in postfix, and IIRC, SA from master.cf is a backscatter source, it should be dumped and amavisd-new used instead. As Andrea does have something wrong and needs to look at the entire setup, and since she uses debian, google shows some useful results, for one - workaround.org it provides details for debian/postfix/dovecot isp mail setup, just reading it for a few minutes, I don't agree with all he writes, mostly for efficiency reasons, but his directions would very certainly result in a working system.
