Is that literally exactly what's in the configuration file? If so,
that's the problem; the string contains a "%s" that's meant to be
substituted with the user's user ID or email address etc., but there's
no actual value provided to provide the substitution.

Typically, you'd write something like this:

DELIVERY = "/var/mail/userid"

If you put this into ~/.tmda/config, you can literally write this line,
and manually perform the substitution per user.

If you want to put this into /etc/tmdarc so it's shared across all
users, you'd have to write:

DELIVERY = "/var/mail/%s" % userid

where userid is user's ID. For example, you might:

DELIVERY = "/var/mail/%s" % os.environ.get("USER")
