OK I got delivery from postfix to lmtp working ,
by changing from unix_listener to inet_listener .
Reindl wrote "don't open the port for any other machine as the postfix server" I see that is important.. I assume that just a firewall setting? Or does the 'address' line in inet_listener lmtp have something to do with it?

I'm trying to figure out the exact line to put to /etc/postfix/main.cf
for local lmtp deliver we use: mailbox_transport = *lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp*
for remote it is supposed to be:* lmtp:host:port*
yet at the remote lmtp does not use ports. UNIX domain sockets are used instead
so just configure dovecot lmtpd to listen on a TCP port, port 24 is reserved for that - and don't open the port for any other machine as the postfix server
[harry@srv-rhsoft:~]$ cat /etc/services | grep -i lmtp lmtp 24/tcp # LMTP Mail Delivery lmtp 24/udp # LMTP Mail Delivery
and since i answered the same question yet on the postfix list
