What does master.cf contain? Or postconf -n? This is anyway Postfix
configuration problem, nothing really to do with Dovecot (your transport
name just happens to be dovecot).

Good day all,

[Dovecot version 1.2.1]
I've set up postfix and dovecot on Centos.  I have a problem with the 
mail, it is begin received but not processed by dovecot.  I've looked 
in the maillog file and found two problems; the first is that 
private/dovecot directory (I think it should be a directory) did not 
exist and the second problem is mail transport unavailable.



private/dovecot is typically dovecot authentication socket for SMTP
AUTH. deliver doesn't need it.

  
I've create a directory called /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot but I 
get the following error in the log file: Connection refused (Is this an 
ownership issue? I've made the owner postfix)
As for the second problem, I've spend the most of the past 3 days 
googling the error and found very little useful information.


Do I need to supply more info?



Yeah. Postfix configuration, dovecot -n output and exact log messages
what happens when you try to deliver a mail.
