Can you post your master.cf file, or more precisely, the output of:
$ postconf -Mf
with whitespace and line breaks unmodified?
The change that Wietse alluded to is:

Which changed the service type of "pickup" from "fifo" to "unix". The
"qmgr" changes should not matter, since "postdrop" does not directly
interact with the queue manager. After writing the queue file, it
does attempt to wake up the pickup(8) service.
You should also post verbatim "postconf -nf" output, in case there's
anything odd there.

Neither dovecot, milter, nor amavis settings are relevant to the
"postdrop" helper. Its job is rather minimal, write a queue file and
send a wakeup message to pickup(8).
