If you don't set user at all, it should use the local user, because
that's what the localuser director does. I don't understand what the
problem is here, because I don't understand your comment "can't
read/write the spool dir". The transport shouldn't be accessing any
spool files.

Which delivery? It should send the message as the local user if you
don't specify "user". Isn't that what you want? There isn't really any
"delivery" involved here.
I think there's some information missing here. Have you tried running a
test with -d9 set to get some debugging information?
