How is mail for "u...@johnreedcenter.net" delivered?
- Is the address rewritten prior to delivery? If so, how?
- Your SASL settings seem to be based on Dovecot, perhaps
you really should be using virtual mailboxes, but you're
not doing that it seems.
- Is the delivery to a mailbox associated with a system
user login account (/etc/passwd, ...)?
- How do users read their mail? POP? IMAP? Other?

These could be handled in virtual_alias_maps, or left alone if real
users get their mail delivered to login-account account mailboxes.

You need to understand local delivery to system mailboxes, vs. delivery
to virtual mailboxes not tied to system login accounts, and mapped to
appropriate locations in Dovecot's config and perhaps the virtual(8)
delivery agent if not using Dovecot's LMTP.
A deep dive into the Postfix book by Ralf and Patrick would like be
appropriate. Making sure that afterwards you understand
ADDRESS_CLASS_README and VIRTUAL_README.
