And I'd like to add that mailbox_transport (and _maps) will deliver
recipient that don't exist in the UNIX passwd fdatabase:
mailbox_transport (default: empty)
Optional message delivery transport that the local(8) delivery agent
should use for mailbox delivery to all local recipients, whether or not
they are found in the UNIX passwd database.
Similar text for mailbox_transport_maps.
These features pre-date local_recipient_maps, address classes, and
related improvements that were introduced in Postfix 2.0, 20 years ago.
There are better ways now to integrate Dovecot: I suggest that you
use Dovecot LMTP integration instead.
