Why does qmail say this user doesn't exist?

As a security precaution, qmail refuses to deliver mail to users who
don't own their home directory. In fact, such users aren't even
considered users by qmail. As a result, if "john" doesn't own ~john,
then john isn't a user, and john@example.com isn't a valid mailbox.
