If an aliasfile director directs a message to a file or a pipe, then the
configuration has to specify a uid/gid under which to run the local
delivery. This can be done either on the director or the transport.
With no other configuration, the transport used for those file
deliveries will be the one called address_file. You can specify another
one by setting, for example,
file_transport = special_file_transport
on the alias file director. Then you can set up special_file_transport
special_file_transport:
driver = appendfile
user = ????
which will be used only for those file deliveries from that one
director.
What you put for the ???? is up to you. Which uid do you want to use for
writing to /var/mail/guy_a? If these are all POP-only users, perhaps you
can just set
user = exim
and have the files owned by exim.
