I have the following error when i am sending an email to my email server
postfix + dovecot.

#5.3.0 x-unix; /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver: invalid option -- 'n' Usage:
dovecot-lda [-c <config file>] [-a <address>] [-d <username>] [-p <path>]
[-f <envelope sender>] [-m <mailbox>] [-e] [-k]> #SMTP#

The problem occurred after i upgraded my server from ubuntu 11.4 to
11.10.

11.10 upgrades dovecot from 1.2.x to 2.0.x; as a result the -n flag is
no longer accepted by dovecot-lda; You can fix this by removing the -n
flag from the postfix configuration;

 sudo postconf -e "mailbox_command = /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -c
/etc/dovecot/conf.d/01-mail-stack-delivery.conf -m \"\${EXTENSION}\""
