Thank you very much, Bernd, for your good advice. Though I know strace, strange enough, I hadn't the idea myself to use it. But what's stranger: to run dovecot under strace I stopped everythin and didn't start strace with: service dovecot start, but directly, an oh miracle, the sockets are created. I didn't test yet if they work, but we will see.
When I find some time, I will trace the failure. And, oh shame, I mustrusted dovecot.

Thank you very much for your advice, but that error of postfx I got from the error-log. Dovecot doesn't complain. It only doesn't create the sockets, I have in the service section of 10-master.conf There should be more somewhere with "permission denied" or similar somewhere - the more useful programs log everything possibly strange.
Additionally you could start 'dovecot' under "strace" - e.g.
strace -o dovecot.strace ...and look for the socket() sys-calls for an error.Bernd
