What is auth-master, and how do I create it?

I am not sure if this is relevant or not; however, I was wondering why
you are still using a depreciated version of Postfix? There have been
numerous enhancements incorporated into newer versions. Have you
considered upgrading?

Here you create it. I guess that error message comes from deliver. So  
two possibilities:

1) Change the path setting above to /opt/local/..etc...

2) Change auth_socket_path inside protocol lda {}
