Uh, oh,
I did this installation some years ago, and evidently have completely
forgotten what I did. Having just checked what's installed on the
server, I find that neither dovecot, nor cyrus are there, although the
configuration files are, which led me to wrong assumptions. I seem to
remember trying various options at the time, before settling on the
present configuration, which is using courier, so that's why postfix
can't find cyrus.
On that basis, I changed the line "mailbox_transport = cyrus" to
"mailbox_transport = courier" in /etc/postfix/main.cf. That got rid of
the fatal error and allowed mail to be processed. I assume the change in
hostname triggered an alternative delivery method for local recipients,
which is why the misconfiguration wasn't a problem previously.
I then used the hostname "shell.vanderhoff.org" instead of just
"vanderhoff.org", which got rid of the warning.
So, I've learned a bit more, thanks to everyone for their support.
Cheers, Tony
