So, most likely the "maildrop" directory is no longer present, or the
queue directory itself has been moved, unmounted, ... The postdrop(1)
process performs a chdir(2) to the queue_directory, so if that is
replaced, it won't find a maildrop sub-directory...

This claim looks implausible, or main.cf was briefly modified to cause
postdrop(1) to use the wrong directory, ...
Make sure you are checking the correct instance (generally the default
one with sendmail/postdrop).
