| Sadly you misundertood the "local" delivery agent. Its input namespace

So what should I be using to deliver the mail into mailboxes on the local
machine, where the mailbox is a name exactly the same as the user part
of the address, appended to a path (/var/spool/mail), where every mailbox
is owned by one specific system user. The mailed-to users do not have
home directories, so there is no .forward file. If there are any addresses
that need to be forwarded to some other, a map for that is good, but if
the address is not found in the map, it should just be delivered normally.
