No. It means that unless you set no_check_owner, the file returned by
${perl{getfilterfile}{$local_part}} must be owned by $local_part. You
might want to use no_check_owner, if some filter files are shared by
several users. Why does root use that filter file anyway?
Another matter is that Exim by default refuses to perform deliveries as
root (see never_users) and therefore root@??? must in turn
be aliased to a another (normal) user (otherwise Exim will say "User
root set for virtual_address_pipe transport is on the never_users list",
for example. I think it could be considered bad practice to redirect
mail to root; redirect it to a normal user directly instead. You
shouldn't have to be root to read administrative mail.
