But postfix's local transport cannot deliver to virtual mailboxes,
and the virtual transport does not provide for command execution:

  virtual(8):
  This  delivery  agent  only delivers mail.  Other features such as
  mail forwarding, out-of-office notifications, etc., must be
  configured  via virtual_alias maps or via similar lookup
  mechanisms.

So yes, if I find a suitable virtual delivery agent or a way to pass
the maildir location from postfix to e.g. procmail, I'll have it
solved. But right now it does not look like it's possible.
