Dovecot reports logins when trying to send (via T'bird). One of the online email testing sites reported:
Server 'HELO' line: 220-mail.mydomain.tld ESMTP Postfix so we know the SMTP service is ready, but follows with this:
Warning: Expected on ESMTP return code of '250' capabilities code in response to our 'EHLO'. Got ''
Sending an email inwards from an external address simply gets a "connection refused" at the sender end and no response or log entry on the server.
Systemctl status postfix.service shows Postfix as running but with a complaint that it cannot connect to 127.0.0.1:11332: fatal: host/service localhost/11332 not found: Device or resource busy.
I do not know if this is a Postfix, Rspamd, Redis or firewall problem, nor even if it is down to a typo such as a missed semicolon, bracket or quote I have failed to find. The vmail database looks sound and Dovecot is obviously accepting from local registered users.
So what I need is an idea of how to fault find this problem, i.e. what to look at and in which order. I have read through the files I installed, the docs for Rspamd and Redis and am at a loss as to what to do next.
Here are the outputs from postconf -n and postconf -M:

I have tried to transcribe this email server from Thomas Leister's excellent email server on Debian Stretch, which I had running successfully elsewhere on Debian. Arch works differently in small but key ways.
