When commented local in master.cf
#local     unix  -       n       n       -       -       local

I got errors:

[...]

[...]


When uncommented I can see in logs that although deliver is using - local
is used somewhere. Can anyone explain how it works and why postfix/local
is needed? Logs with uncomended local:
