It appears that you use maildrop, so it is unclear to me why you don't
just use the maildrop router, but to each their own. Leaving the
procmail router does no harm if procmail is not installed, but if you
want the shortest possible configuration that gets the job done, you can
of course remove it.

The local_user router would only deliver to maildir_home transport if it
was ever reached - since routing stops at forward_file, it never makes
it that far. Investigate maildrop.
