However, appendfile is also used for delivering messages to files or
directories whose names (or parts of names) are obtained from alias,
forwarding, or filtering operations (for example, a save command in a user's
Exim filter).

When this option is set, the owner of the file defined by the file option is
checked to ensure that it is the same as the user under which the delivery
process is running.
