As a wild guess .. permissions or dir doesn't exist problem.

The appendfile transport runs as the system user the email is destined
for unless the user/group options are used.

In this case you're trying to deliver to /home/sw/Maildir as the sw user
- that user either doesn't have access to that directory, or the
directory doesn't exist and create_dir isn't set. The tmp, cur and new
directories might also be missing.
