No, that is not the case. Note that it says "T=local_delivery", which
means it is doing a local delivery. Also, any errors from the other end
are always logged as "error from remote host" to make it absolutely
clear what they are, and the host name+IP is also logged.

Another way, assuming that /var/mail is writeable by group "local", is
to put
group = local
on the local delivery transport. Then the deliveries are done as the
receiving user, but under the "local" group.
