That's because "someone's" mailbox should be owned by "someone".  I
think the behaviour is quite normal, because in any case sendmail
wouldn't/shouldn't be able to write to the mailbox if it is owned by
root: "someone" won't have the appropriate permissions.

I think it would be worth investigating why someone's mailbox is not
owned by himself.
