The default Postfix directory (the one compiled into the executables)
must exist, and hold at a main.cf file for Postfix local submission to
work.

    - postdrop(1) is setgid, and when invoked by a non-privileged user
      only trusts MAIL_CONFIG if it is either the default configuration
      directory, or that one of one of the configured secondary
      instances.

    - The spool directory must exist, and have a maildrop subdirectory
      with the right ownership.

With postdrop(1) this only works for root.
