[Dovecot] Mail not begin proccessed

[Andre Labuschagne]

Good day all,

[Dovecot version 1.2.1]
I've set up postfix and dovecot on Centos.  I have a problem with the 
mail, it is begin received but not "processed" by dovecot.  I've looked 
in the maillog file and found two problems; the first is that 
private/dovecot directory (I think it should be a directory) did not 
exist and the second problem is "mail transport unavailable".

I've create a directory called /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot but I 
get the following error in the log file: Connection refused (Is this an 
ownership issue? I've made the owner postfix)
As for the second problem, I've spend the most of the past 3 days 
googling the error and found very little "useful" information.

Do I need to supply more info?

Best regards,
Andre
