Thread: Postfix error: private/smtp No such file or directory


good afternoon , happy new year!

i'm in process of moving new server , running ubuntu 11.10. looks dovecot upgraded 2.0, major revision there before (1.something).

in process, looks old config files no longer work i'm down starting scratch. i'm racking brain issue. can receive mail fine cannot send mail out:

code:
dec 27 08:43:17 helo postfix/anvil[21959]: statistics: max connection rate 1/60s (smtp:117.201.49.196) @ dec 27 08:39:55 dec 27 08:43:17 helo postfix/anvil[21959]: statistics: max connection count 1 (smtp:117.201.49.196) @ dec 27 08:39:55 dec 27 08:43:17 helo postfix/anvil[21959]: statistics: max cache size 1 @ dec 27 08:39:55 dec 27 08:43:47 helo postfix/qmgr[56377]: 400b263200cc: from=<someaddress@helo.mikesoh.com>, size=2389, nrcpt=1 (queue active) dec 27 08:43:47 helo postfix/qmgr[56377]: warning: connect transport private/smtp: no such file or directory dec 27 08:43:47 helo postfix/error[36098]: 400b263200cc: to=<someaddress@gmail.com>, relay=none, delay=315493, delays=315493/0.01/0/0.02, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (mail transport unavailable)
now, upon inspection, looks socket smtp service not exist on /var/spool/postfix/private

how create this? i've set dovecot create sasl authentication correctly (at least think so) since can log server. mail within system seems fine (outside fact spamassassin logging spam, that's whole other issue).

not sure did far moving config files, did try copy entire folder /etc/dovecot or did copy 1 or 2 config files
