postfix-dovecot via lmtp
I've been trying for some days to get postfix + dovecot + pigeonhole/sieve working on a CentOS-7 home server. I think I may have detected the problem; I read in /var/log/maillog Aug 4 11:29:13 alfred postfix/lmtp[14871]: 9C04C220A99: to=tim@localhost.gayleard.eu, orig_to=tim@localhost, relay=alfred.gayleard.eu[private/dovecot-lmtp], delay=971, delays=971/0.03/0.02/0.1, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (host alfred.gayleard.eu[private/dovecot-lmtp] said: 451 4.3.0 tim@localhost.gayleard.eu Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. (in reply to RCPT TO command)) (I've split one long line here.)
I see that the permissions on /var/spool/postfix/private/ are [tim@alfred ~]$ ls -ls /var/spool/postfix/ 4 drwx------. 2 postfix root 4096 Aug 4 11:30 private The socket dovecot-lmtp setup by postfix is in this directory; does dovecot need permission to access this?
I see that this mail (a test email from me) was deferred. What exactly does this mean? Where is the mail stored? I couldn't find it anywhere. (It has already been brought to the server by fetchmail.)
Am I right in thinking that there are 2 alternatives to dovecot/sieve a) amavisd-new with postfix + spamassassin b) postfix + procmail ?
I remember seeing a posting (probably not in this mailing list) describing how one can trace the progress of email through the server. Unfortunately I didn't note the URL, and now cannot find it. Does anyone have a pointer to such a document?
As will probably be obvious, I am not at all clear how postfix and dovecot fit together if one introduces lmtp. I take it that without lmtp (or similar) postfix just delivers email to ~/Maildir/cur (in my case), and dovecot is not involved at all until a client (KMail in my case) looks at email?

"Refer to server log for more information" comes from dovecot lmtpd so look there and post the output of "doveconf -n"

they talk to each other since dovecot replies over ltmpd

Thanks very much for your response.
The only output in /var/log/dovecot (where I send dovecot logs) is

The output of "doveconf -n" is
