Oh. And prior to the  postfix errors there is:

Nov  7 11:30:20 padme dovecot: auth(default): LDAP: ldap_result() failed: 
Can't contact LDAP server
Nov  7 11:30:20 padme dovecot: auth(default): LDAP: Can't connect to server: 
127.0.0.1
Nov  7 11:30:21 padme dovecot: auth(default): dovecot-auth: sbind.c:75: 
ldap_simple_bind: Assertion `ld != ((void *)0)' failed.
Nov  7 11:30:21 padme dovecot: child 22172 (auth) killed with signal 6
