 Maybe postfix cannot write to the socket (/var/imap/socket/lmtp),
can you make sure the socket is writable by postfix user or the group
postfix is running under ? 
 Make sure no firewall rules are in place that can prevent you from
connecting telnet-ing to the lmtp port. If you run lmtpd over localhost
can you connect to localhost:lmtp ? What's netstat saying about
listening ports ?
