[Dovecot] ATTN TIMO: Man pages of "deliver"

  The man pages of "man deliver" do not explain the "-n" option which is 
confusing a lot of people as to why mailboxes and mail folders aren't 
being automatically created; yet, the dovecot wiki's both say to use 
"-n" in postfix's master.cf which keeps dovecot's lda from automatically 
creating the folders. People are pulling hair over this!

The default should be to not use -n as most will want their directories 
automatically created. The dovecot wikis, at least wiki1, also do not 
include the -e option to be more verbose to postfix, on error.
