You might be better served posting your questions regarding Postfix and
Dovecot on their respective forums. You supply no configuration
documentation and since my crystal ball is out for repairs,
assisting you is mostly guesswork. You should start off by supplying
the output of:
postconf -n
dovecot -n
I would hold off on using Procmail until you get the rest of the system
up and running. In fact, IMHO, I would hold off on using Procmail
totally.
Tip: Use Postfix as your delivery agent for starters. Once the mail is
getting delivered properly, integrate Dovecot into the mix.
