 Thanks.
 I started some of Postfix daemons with "-v" and noticed mailroutingaddress shows up \
on the logs when using Dovecot LDA, but not when Postfix is configured to use Cyrus \
lmtp socket. From this I started to think the issue is with Postfix config, this \
along with what you said points to exactly it: Postfix config.  I'm gonna \
(re)check/study the Postfix queues order and address the problem to the Postfix \
mailing list. 

 thanks!
