It makes the file descriptor that qmail-local hands to
vdelivermail seekable. By default it's not seekable.
Making it seekable means vdelivermail can rewind
the file descriptor to start at the begining of the email.
This is needed when handing the email to programs
inside of .qmail files, or for getting the size of the
email or for delivery to multiple addresses. That kind
of thing.
