The query filter should be:

uid=%u

rather than mail=%s. This is because the local(8) delivery agent delivers
mail to aliases and *users* not email addresses.

What problem are you trying to solve? What's wrong with the default:

local_recipient_maps = $alias_maps unix:passwd.byname

With nsswitch.conf configured to find local users via LDAP, the
configuration is simpler, and the table is more accurate.
