vi /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
uncomment the postmaster_address=
restart dovecot:
/etc/init.d/dovecot restart
Restarting IMAP/POP3 mail server: dovecotError: Error in configuration
file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf line 760: Unknown setting: postmaster_address
Fatal: Invalid configuration in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
 failed!

I see the problem.. that line was underneath a curly brace that was
commented out:
protocol lda {
  # Address to use when sending rejection mails (e.g.
postmas...@example.com).
#postmaster_address =
postmaster_address=...@localhost
<snip many lines>
#}
once I uncommented out the "{" and "}" IT WORKED.
