I assume this is why my mail is not being delivered, but how does a process
use a non existing user id?
There are no files on the system with that id, and no processes that I see
running with that user id.

Unless amavis or postfix is coming hardwired with this user id, how can I
possibly find what is using it?
This is a new setup with not much on it.

Some process with UID=1095 invoked the Postfix sendmail command.

Wrong question.

Right question:

"Why do I have processes with an UID that has no password file entry?"
