Courier itself doesn't cross-check, but your operating system will. Courier 
doesn't change to "user chris" to deliver mail, but instead changes to "user 
number UID". If the user with this UID doesn't have access to chris' 
Maildir, then courier will have a problem delivering mail. Rather than crash 
horribly or discarding messages, courier lets you know that it couldn't get 
access to the Maildir.

Looks like a pretty stong case to me!
