Ah, then Timo's reply was right. He suggested you do the lmtp-deliveries
to the same server that you would send you imap-user to. You can do this
trough dovecot director and lmtp-proxying.
So instead of:
lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp
you should use:
lmtp:tcp:1.2.3.4:24
where 1.2.3.4 would be the Dovecot LMTP proxy that proxies to the same
machine as you would use for imap for this particular recipient.
