By default, for local delivery, Postfix looks up user names in the system database. It won't query your virtual database. You've not added a UNIX system account nor alias of "test". This is why this fails. > That is were I was before.

When specifying $mydomain you are specifying local delivery, hence "postfix/local" above. The solution should be as simple as: 1. Creating local system users, or simply not using $mydomain, and sticking with all virtual delivery 2. If you must use $mydomain, tell Postfix that local deliveries are supposed to go to Dovecot by adding to main.cf: mailbox_command = /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver Your paths to commands may be slightly different as you're using FreeBSD and I'm using Debian Linux. I use local delivery to system users, no virtual domains/users, and this is exactly how my system is setup. With the exception that my local domain has a valid MX record. I'm unclear as to why you're using the non-routable domain muellerbackwaren.local, but as long as some system can relay mail to this box for those addresses, it should work. -- Stan
