( Like running as user "mailnull" ). Actually the default user/group for the port install is mailnull:mail There are many configuration options(if not all) which can be added/tweaked simply by editing the Makefile in the port directory(or via the command line). The best part is it sets up all the directory permissions user/group etc for you and generally just works. Trust in the ports, it will save you a lot of headaches in the long run especially when it comes to upgrading.
