There are two lmtp sockets. One (unix:private:lmtp) created by postfix and one
(in postfix speak: unix:private:dovecot-lmtp)created by dovecot. Postfix uses
the first one internally and uses the LMTP protocol over it. Dovecot puts the
second one in postfix's private area for postfix to deliver mail to dovecot
with LMTP.
The dovecot instructions are correct.
I was just confused because my dovecot doesn't create the dovecot-lmtp socket.
