dovecot - Apr 2017 - my domain in both my destination and virtual_mailbox_domains?

I?m doing a new dovecot mail server for my domain.  Here?s yet another thing I
mucked up.

I wanted to set up virtual mailboxes.  One reason was that I wanted to set up
virtual users for the domain so I don?t need to create user accounts just mail
accounts.
I followed one of the many examples / tutorials out there and I end up with the
following warning message.

postfix/trivial-rewrite[8818]: warning: do not list domain
<machine>.<domain>.com in BOTH mydestination and
virtual_mailbox_domains

I checked my configuration, I don?t see where I?ve set up anything for
mydestination in postfix.

I?m trying to work thru the log file issues that I can find? this is just one
more.

To add to the confusion, I?m using webmin as my server admin UI to make life
easier?  yet it seems to much things up a bit

Any suggestions?

Thx

-Mike

If you don't have the domain explicitly listed in main.cf maybe it is passed
as variable ( mydestination=$mydomain for example) or in a table.( 
mydestination= hash://etc/postfix/domains)
If you run postconf you should see the actual parameters.

First of all, this is a problem regarding postfix. And this is a
mailinglist about dovecot...

In such cases, we need more information about your configuration. The
best thing you can do is to use the command "postconf -n".

In MY postfix config, I use:
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost, localhost.$mydomain

For virtual domains you can use a parameter called "relay_domains". In
MY config:
relay_domains = hash:${config_directory}/relay_domains

I recommend to post your question to a postfix-mailinglist, including
"postconf -n".

Or use google and search for: workaround.org postfix dovecot

This is a Dovecot list, not a Postfix list. At the very least, you need
to post the complete output of "postconf -nf" assuming a version of
Postfix >= 2.9, or else just omit the "n" parameter.

While you are at it, include the output of "dovecot -n"
