Hi,
this is not a postfix problem. Furthermore it is fully covered in the
dovecot docs.
You need to put the dovecot-lmtp socket into /var/spool/postfix/private.
This means the unix_listener must get the path to that. See here:
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixDovecotLMTP
Also note that you will need to either cut off the domain name of local
recipient addresses in postfix somehow, or get dovecot to resolve
addresses with domains properly. userdb { driver=passwd } won't do that,
driver=passwd-file will do it if configured properly.
Best,
Luke

Hello list,
I am trying to send a mail message from root to a system user on the same
box. While postfix functions without dovecot properly, once dovecot is
installed, I get the message from logs as set in the subject line - that
postfix/lmpt cannot connect to [private/dovecot-lmtp]: No such file or
directory
Also, user's ~/.Maildir aren't created, although there is such instructions
in dovecot. Finally, doveconf -n says there is no ssl enabled, although I
explicitly set it in /conf.d/10-ssl.conf
Below are dmesg, postconf -n, doveconf -n and a snippet from
/var/log/mail.log
Please advise. Thanks in advance.
