You don't need to set up a transport for "deliver" iirc- "deliver"
means restart routing mail with a new list of addresses instead of the
original address, rather than going on to a transport.
OTOH, for things like "save" and "pipe" you need to assoicate a
transport to get user, group, maildir_format etc. settings.
