When everything fails, read the documentation. If you type "defer" into the search window at http://www.postfix.org/, the defer directory is explained in the first paragraph of the first hit. It's used for delivery status logfiles. In Postfix documentation, "deferred queue" is linked everywhere to http://www.postfix.org/QSHAPE_README.html#deferred_queue.
