No, you shouldn't. Once again: you put a .mailfilter in each user's home  
directory, and that's where you provide mail delivery instructions for the  
recipient.

When your mail server runs maildrop, it should do that after dropping root  
and running maildrop under the recipient's uid and gid. maildrop checks  
which uid and gid it runs as, and sets $HOME accordingly.

This is all explained in the maildropfilter man page.
