I am stuck enabling LMTP so that I can use Sieve rules. I have a postfix -> dovecot setup on Ubuntu. I am using virtual users with a SQL backend for virtual_users, password maps, and maildir.
I have searched for a solution and implemented everything I have read.
I do not understand why lmtp is trying to go to /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb (file does not exist). Everything works until I uncomment "virtual_transport = lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp” in postfix/main.cf
Anyone have a solution?
Here is the lmtp error with surrounding messages

I do see "auth_socket_path = auth-userdb” in doveconf output
