imap-postfix lmtp troblem

[Zbigniew Lisiecki]

Hi,
i am new in this list, and i am not sure if i can ask here for a support in a 
concrete problem, excuse me if i am wrong with this expectation.

I installed cyrus_imap 2.1 and postfix 1.1.11 with SuSE 8.1 Linux and 
succefuly created mailboxes, which are accessed with squirrelmail.
I can send mail, but when receiving they stay in a mailq. I tried to change
parameters in /etc/cyrus.conf /etc/imapd.conf, /etc/postfix.master.cf and 
/etc/postfix/main.cf responsible for lmtp and restarted the whole 
imap/postfix system each time after change. This way i succeded three times 
to push mails from the queue to their mailboxes, but i couldn't repeat it 
earlier than after two days !

In this configuration i use deliver from cyrus and 
/var/spool/postfix/public/lmtp to listen at. Other configurations lead to
messages in logfiles:

	/var/spool/postfix/public/lmtp]: No such file or directory)

even if the file exists and have been used three times as stated above, or

	postfix/pipe[19854]: C6B065E80: to=<zbyszek at evot.org>, relay=cyrus,
	delay=169660, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: couldn't
	connect to lmtpd: Connection refused_ 421 4.3.0 deliver: couldn't connect to
	lmtpd_ )

/usr/lib/cyrus/bin/deliver -m mailbox  called manually shows:

	couldn't connect to lmtpd: Connection refused
	421 4.3.0 deliver: couldn't connect to lmtpd

I expect something with timeouts (two days) is wrong, but i couldn't find 
what. What is the systematic way to find the cause of this strange behaviour.
Thanx an advance for any help
