I have seen something similar previously with a ClarkConnect system. 
They set it up for use with Amavis (Or spamd, I forget) and you are not 
running that so Postfix is trying to pipe the mail to a non-existent 
daemon. Check your master.cf for something like filter or similar and 
comment it out. Once you have found that look for a corresponding entry 
in main.cf and comment that out also. Then reload Postfix.

It's because as far as Postfix is concerned, the mail has not got to a 
delivery stage yet, hence it's deferred the mail.
