Hello list,

I am trying to send a mail message from root to a system user on the same
box. While postfix functions without dovecot properly, once dovecot is
installed, I get the message from logs as set in the subject line - that
postfix/lmpt cannot connect to [private/dovecot-lmtp]: No such file or
directory

Also, user's ~/.Maildir aren't created, although there is such instructions
in dovecot. Finally, doveconf -n says there is no ssl enabled, although I
explicitly set it in /conf.d/10-ssl.conf

Below are dmesg, postconf -n, doveconf -n and a snippet from
/var/log/mail.log

Please advise. Thanks in advance.

$ doveconf -n
# 2.2.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 3.18.26-x1-64 x86_64 Debian 8.3
hostname = mail.domain.tld
protocols = lmtp
service lmtp {
   unix_listener lmtp {
     group = postfix
     mode = 0600
     user = postfix
   }
}


You probably want to define socket path here, so that the socket gets created in postfix's private directory, probably /var/lib/postfix/private
