I think I've got it figured out and this is your culprit. |

This is because Postfix adds the x-original-to when it delivers, but not |
| 50 |
when it passes the mail via lmtp to Dovecot. See this Dovecot thread for |
| 51 |
some details. |

The primary benefits of Dovecot LDA seem to be cache files and Sieve. |

If you aren't using Sieve, I would try is using virtual_transport = |
| 60 |
virtual instead of virtual_transport = dovecot |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
You might need to change some settings in your Dovecot config to match |
| 63 |
where Postfix will deliver the emails, specifically mail_location = |
| 64 |
maildir:/var/mail/%d/%n/Maildir/:INDEX=/var/mail/%d/%n/indexes |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
This are the settings I use for Postfix w/ Courier. Should work with |
| 67 |
Dovecot, but again you might need to change things a bit. |
