Hi Jens, 


Perform another test according to your advice.  But it still fails. 
Mail can't be delivered to the Server.


$ tail /var/log/mail.log

However based on following complaint;

I found following thread on googling;

postfix+cyrus21
http://unixadmintalk.com/f11/postfix-cyrus21-89421/


According to their suggest I found follows;

$ sudo ls -l /var/run/cyrus/socket
total 0
srwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2008-06-10 06:55 lmtp
srwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2008-06-10 09:09 notify


$ sudo ls -ld /var/run/cyrus/socket
drwxr-x--- 2 cyrus mail 80 2008-06-10 09:09 /var/run/cyrus/socket


$ id postfix
uid=107(postfix) gid=111(postfix) groups=111(postfix)


$ sudo adduser postfix lmtp
adduser: The group `lmtp' does not exist.


What shall I do?  

Creating the group 'lmtp' ?


If YES, what specific command I have to run not to jeopardize other
settings.


If still fails how to revert back to its original state?  TIA
