There probably is nothing special about that (virtual) user, but only
that this is the only mailbox where archivemail tries to fake a 'From '
line for a message because it cannot determine its sender address.

It's only then that archivemail runs the code that triggers the
exception.  And that fails if there is no (real, Unix) user with uid
5000 on the box.
