It seems like you are using dovecot's lda to deliver mail but postfix cannot find the socket to deliver to.

Ensure that you postfix and dovecot configs match with the location of the socket.

If they do try restarting dovecot and see if the socket is created.

I guess u're refering to setting up the mailbox_command, problem is that I don't have dovecot deliver anywhere (mailbox_command = /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver - can't find it on hdd)

or it's something else you are refereing to?
