Looks like you are activating both a socket and a port. Im not sure what dovecot does, does it bind to both or does it pick one and ignore the other. You only need to use one or the other.
And what does your postfix side look like? Where is postfix trying to connect? To the socket or the port? For using a socket postfix would look something like:
virtual_transport = lmtp:unix:private/lmtp
I removed the tcp port for now.
/ # doveconf service/lmtp service lmtp { chroot = client_limit = 1 drop_priv_before_exec = no executable = lmtp extra_groups = $default_internal_group group = idle_kill = 0 privileged_group = process_limit = 0 process_min_avail = 0 protocol = lmtp service_count = 0 type = unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = mail mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener lmtp { group = mode = 0666 user = } user = vsz_limit = 18446744073709551615 B }
postfix config:
mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp virtual_transport = lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp
I had confused postfix's own lmtp socket with dovecot's, which was originally named dovecot-lmtp but when it wasn't created I though my config was wrong.
What seems to happen is that /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp isn't created by dovecot at launch, but /var/spool/postfix/private/auth is
