If you are running postfix in a chroot jail you cannot access the socket
-> check master.cf if that is the case

possible solutions:
* change master.cf

or

* have postfix connect to 127.0.0.1 instead of to the socket (has been
claimed to be a tiny bit slower on high-load systems)

or

* move the socket inside the chroot but know that other programs will have
more difficulty connecting to it
