Because you want to generate a mail?
Please RTFM.

The name of the file that contains the system filter must be specified
by setting system_filter. If you want the filter to run under a uid and
gid other than root, you must also set system_filter_user and
system_filter_group as appropriate. For example:
system_filter = /etc/mail/exim.filter
system_filter_user = exim
If a system filter generates any deliveries directly to files or pipes
(via the save or pipe commands), transports to handle these deliveries
must be specified by setting system_filter_file_transport and
system_filter_pipe_transport, respectively. Similarly,
system_filter_reply_transport must be set to handle any messages
generated by the reply command.
