about the group-permission of the lmtp socket?

looks like it wants to connect to the ip address localhost. well, you  
have unix-socket, so it won't be able to connect.

please do more reading, get a book or something. so many of your  
issues do not belong to this mailinglist and are off-topic. I don't  
mean to be rude, but we can't do everything for you, we also had to  
read a lot.
