ok . . .
(1) "/etc/dovecot/local.conf" modified
protocols = imap lmtp sieve
service lmtp {
user = vmail
}
(2) "/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf" modified
service lmtp {
# Create inet listener only if you can't use the above UNIX socket
inet_listener lmtp {
# Avoid making LMTP visible for the entire internet
address = 192.168.121.149 127.0.0.1 ::1
port = 24
}
}
(3) still received "NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT" error in "/var/log/mail.log"
I found the answer at LinuxQuestions.org

In essence, the MX Server was not recognizing my Samba Active Directory
as a legitimate recipient, and I simply added my internal domain name
(matching my MX Record) to the "mydestination" string
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain
I modified mine to be the ACTUAL names and not the variables but both
worked.
THAT allowed my "new" mail server to connect and download mail from the ISP
(4) however, I continued to have an issue with the mailbox
it created mail in "/var/vmail/[email protected]" instead of
"/var/vmail/user"
I resolved it by editing "/etc/postfix/main.cf" to invoke Dovecot as
transport agent
virtual_mailbox_domains = virtual.domain.local
virtual_transport = dovecot
NOW I am ready to make the switch from the "old" server to the "new"
Thanks to all who helped me resolve the issues.

Try to use TCP instead of UNIX socket.

If you use socket, you need to add rights to dovecot (member of
postfix group?), and check the postfix: how it's working - chrooted/not.
I think you can use TCP what listens only on localhost.
