DELIVERY RIGHTS
Deliveries to external files and external commands are made with the
rights of the receiving user on whose behalf the delivery is made. In
the absence of a user context, the local(8) daemon uses the owner
rights of the :include: file or alias database. When those files are
owned by the superuser, delivery is made with the rights specified with
the default_privs configuration parameter.
The default_privs setting is "default_privs = nobody".
