dovecot - May 2007 - Does dovecot do any address checking or referring back to a server?

This is a dovecot question so bear with me.

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 7.04 from 6.06.
I used fetchmail and postfix but not dovecot on 6.06.
Fetchmail retrieved my mail and postfix put it in my maildir.
I used Evolution to access the maildir directly.
I setup Evolution to send mail directly as well.

With this move I decided to go the extra step and get dovecot working.
With some help on this form, I did that. But, I immediately started
having trouble with getting my mail.
Fetchmail is retrieving it but postfix keeps not processing for some reason.
Im geting these error message:
May  2 17:14:11 wadesmart postfix/qmgr[14778]: 6D4AD14286F3:
to=<wadesmart at mail.wadesmart.com>,
orig_to=<wade at localhost>,
 relay=none,
delay=9331,
delays=9307/25/0/0,
dsn=4.4.1,
status=deferred (delivery temporarily suspended: connect to
smtpout.secureserver.net[64.202.165.58]: Connection timed out)

The thing is - Im not sending mail at all through postfix.

So my question is, I know that dovecot only serves up email to a mail
client but, does it do something that I have totally missed that would
some how or some way refer mail back to a server? Is there some type
of address check or something going on?

I know Im grasping at straws here but, I have been unable to get help
from the postfix list or any list for that matter so if I can
eliminate one more piece of the puzzle, all the better.

Thanks.

1. you have errors in your postfix configuration.
2. postfix cant deliver mail (what transport you are using? postfix
virtual? dovecots LDA? some other?)
3. error in delivery produces bounce messages. sender receives mail,
notifying about delivery error.
