Yes. It doesn't listen on any sockets at all.

*Right*. Now we're getting somewhere: it looks like the problem is in
your Postfix configuration.
Create a script something like this
#!/bin/sh
echo "--- FROM [$1] TO [$2]" >>/tmp/lda-log
/usr/bin/id >>/tmp/lda-log
/usr/bin/env >>/tmp/lda-log
exec /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f "$1" -d "$2"
(you may need to adjust the paths to id and env; the point is to avoid
relying on $PATH) and change the master.cf entry to invoke
/path/to/script ${sender} ${recipient}
instead of dovecot-lda. Then deliver some mail and see what, if
anything, gets written to /tmp/lda-log.
