Well, I seem to have made the problem worse as I was adjusting settings 
throughout the day.

Here's where I am at, if I now enable

mailbox_transport = dovecot

I get the following in /var/log/maillog and mail doesn't get delivered

transport error)

disable that setting in main.cf, restart postfix and flush the queue and all 
is good again.

This happen's with both the config file I was working on today and also with 
the one I had yesterday when I started this thread.

Looks like I was getting this yesterday too, but slightly different

Aug 10 18:29:37 servername postfix/local[11905]: warning: connect #3 to

Although I suspect that was when I had enabled the transport changes in 
master.cf just for testing purposes.  The logs show connection refused stuff 
only happening today.  Googling's coming up with squat.
