Yup, this is the problem.

I have made no changes to /etc/postfix/master.cf

Did you notice the remark "local configuration error"!

Somebody else is having the same problem? Please help.

This is the problem... but I'm not sure what it means...

Are you running postfix chrooted? What is in master.cf?

Charles:

Sorry, I did not understand your response. English is my 2nd language.

1. I am NOT running postfix 'chrooted';
2. master.cf is in its original format, I have made no change. Here is the master.cf:

Ahem... I didn't ask you if you had made any changes, I asked you:

1. if you were running postfix chrooted *you didn't answer)

and

2. what is IN master.cf (you didn't respond)

Charles:

Thank you for pointing out the problem. In one of the previous posts, someone had suggested to add the line:

Mailbox_command = /usr/linexec/dovecot/deliver

and when I removed this line, the error in question went away. It may be change in davecot version-1.1.1.

Yes... but examining both postconf -n and dovecot -n doesn't explain it...

You apparently are not using the dovecot LDA, so why is postfix's LDA trying to open the dovecot.conf file?
