Hi there,
Have you added 'lmtp' to the protocols line in dovecot.conf ? It's
not
listed in your doveconf -n.
IE :-
# Protocols we want to be serving.
#protocols = imap pop3 sieve
protocols = imap pop3 sieve lmtp
For logging, set "mail_debug = yes" (in
/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-logging.conf on my system).
