Thanks for the quick response and sorry I missed that. Here's the output
from postfinger-1.30 without parameters:

Note that postfinger didn't pick up on one of the dovecot lines in main.cf.
As I understand the howto
(http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Mail_server_using_Postfix_and_Dovecot) as
well as the Postfix documentation
(http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#transport_destination_recipient_limit)
however the option is correct. Here's the line it missed:
dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1
Cheers, Steffen
