[Dovecot] Dovecot as LDA with Postfix and virtual users

Hello!

I've been trying to configure Dovecot to work as LDA for file-based
virtual users with Postfix.

Some part in the configuration seems to miss though, as mails are
received by Postfix, but instead of giving it to Dovecot for delivery,
it delivers the mails itself.

Postfix drops the mail in /var/mail/<user>/mbox, if Dovecot would be
called, it should deliver it to /var/vmail/<domain>/<user>/Maildir.

I've made sure to add the dovecot-service to postfix/master.cf
according to http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix and tried all kinds
of settings and did quadruple checks for errors.

I'm using Debian 6.0 with Dovecot 2.1.7(From backports) and Postfix 2.7.1

I've been trying to figure out what's missing for a few hours now and
have to give up for today. I hope someone can help me with a hint
what's missing or wrong :-/

Here's an excerpt from my mail.log, my postconf -n and dovecot -n:

Perhaps surprisingly, this is a Postfix issue, not a Dovecot one.

This is postfix/local, which means it is not being routed to your 
virtual_transport. It means example.com is in mydestination.

...
You did not even set mydestination, thus you get the default. You 
really should review the Postfix Basic Configuration README:

http://www.postfix.org/BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README.html

Perhaps you'd be better off without the virtual mailboxes anyway?

Wow, a great adventure, good luck!
