so just configure dovecot lmtpd to listen on a TCP port, port 24 is 
reserved for that - and don't open the port for any other machine as the 
postfix server

[harry at srv-rhsoft:~]$ cat /etc/services | grep -i lmtp
lmtp            24/tcp                          # LMTP Mail Delivery
lmtp            24/udp                          # LMTP Mail Delivery

OK I got delivery from postfix to lmtp working  ,

 by changing from unix_listener  to inet_listener .


Reindl  wrote  "don't open the port for any other machine as the
postfix
server"
  I see that is important..   I assume that just a firewall setting?  Or
does the 'address'  line in inet_listener lmtp  have something to do
with
it?
