dovecot - Apr 2017 - Trouble setting up dovecot/postfix/mysql with virtual mailboxes..

Hi, 

I?m building a new linux box to replace my current DNS/Mail server for my SOHO. 

I was going to set up postfix/dovecot/mysql so I can support virtual users. I
also use Webmin to make admin easier.

I ran in to a couple of snags. 

When I first got it set up, mail went to the virtmail user and I could use my
Mac mail client to read the mail.
Everything was working when testing it.  I was working on my TLS certificates
and I broke something.

I don?t know what I did, but now it?s going to the local mailbox instead.
(MailDir folder)

Since most of my time is doing other things, I am hoping someone could point me
in the right direction.

Thx

Here is my work in progress.  I still have to test out some things, like 
it looks like pickup is passing through amavis twice. (sendmail from 
root testing).

http://medon.htt-consult.com/Centos7-mailserver.html

But I seem to have the mail coming in and going to where I want it.

Any review and help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks! 
But I?m still trying to understand where to look and debug the inbound mail
issue?
Any pointers on where to start? 

Thx again !
