LOCAL(8) DELIVERY RIGHTS says: "Deliveries to external files and external commands are made with the rights of the receiving user on whose behalf the delivery is made."

So I put "nottheoilrig: /mnt/nottheoilrig/" in /etc/aliases (alias_maps) thinking mail for user nottheoilrig would be delivered to /mnt/nottheoilrig/ as UID nottheoilrig.

In fact it's being delivered to /mnt/nottheoilrig/ as UID nobody (65534):

> warning: maildir access problem for UID/GID=65534/65534: create
> maildir file /mnt/nottheoilrig/tmp/1456342242.P27921.ip-10-0-0-214:
> Permission denied

What am I missing? Thanks!
