Noted. What would actually be the simplest would be to provide a
variable called $uid that corresponds to the user that will be used for
delivery. (This is like $home, which doesn't always correspond to the
password entry if home_directory is set.) If you just set
check_local_user, it would behave as you want. If you set an explicit
user= on the router, then that would be the value of $uid. This seems
consistent.
