Most likely deliver wrote the actual error message to Dovecot's log file. However because deliver tries to write to logs directly instead of through master process like Dovecot normally does, it may not have permissions to write. So, try making sure that it does or set different log path to deliver with:
protocol lda{ .. log_path = /var/log/deliver.log }
I am not following you here. There is no entry in my dovecot.conf file under 'protocol lda; for 'log_path'. Are you inferring that I should create one?
Yes.
Second, what would that have to do with the failure of any mail to be properly delivered. Postfix simply stuck them back into the queue until I switched back to Procmail to get them delivered.
It'd most likely write a nice understandable error message to the log file. "Temporary failure" tells nothing about what the actual problem is.
