Thanks Timo for quick confirmation and the link for setting up dovecot as LDA.

I made below changes to postfix's main.cf

mailbox_command = /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda ( verified that's
correct location for file)

postfix reload

The changed mail_location as  mail_location = maildir:/localdir/mail/%u

dovecot restart

/var/log/messages shows, below error,

dovecot: pop3(username): Error: user username: Initialization failed:
Initializing mail storage from mail_location setting failed:
stat(/localdir/mail/username) failed: Permission denied
(euid=1002(username) egid=10(wheel) missing +x perm: /localdir/mail,
euid is not dir owner)

Any idea what is going wrong?
