Ok, this turned out to be SELinux.
If I turn off SELinux then I can start Dovecot using init.d.
So now I tried to send a test mail using telnet:
# telnet localhost smtp
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.

So I checked and 'deliver' is not in /usr/lib/dovecot. It is in
/usr/libexec/dovecot. So how do I fix this? Here is what is in postfix
master.cf:
dovecot unix - n n - - pipe
flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d
${recipient}
So why is it referencing /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver ????
Thanks,
Gerry
