Thanks Aki,
I really appreciate your suggestions towards resolving the anomaly.

In my postfix naster.cf I have: #local_transport = lmtp:[127.0.0.1]:24 local_transport = lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp
The first line, if uncommented, is how to configure postfix via loopback. The second line is how to configure it using a socket, which is what I use. It depends on how you configure dovecot-lmtp. As I am still on 2.3.x, I can't help you to configure that side of it.
