[10:01:28][root at greer]/etc/dovecot$ dovecot -n
# 1.2.11: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
Error: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf line 754:
Unknown setting: postmaster_address
Fatal: Invalid configuration in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf


Damnit.  I found it.  It's always a stupid oversight...

I'd forgotten to remove the comment symbols from the top and bottom of the
LDA section.  It's easy to forget little things like this when one doesn't
live and breath inside dovecot.conf daily.

#protocol lda {
...
#}

It looks like it's working now:

Thanks for the help guys.  If you'd not have kept my nose in dovecot.conf
I'd not have found it.
