so just configure dovecot lmtpd to listen on a TCP port, port 24 is 
reserved for that - and don't open the port for any other machine as the 
postfix server

[harry at srv-rhsoft:~]$ cat /etc/services | grep -i lmtp
lmtp            24/tcp                          # LMTP Mail Delivery
lmtp            24/udp                          # LMTP Mail Delivery
