To run on port 80 you need to run as root, so it's best to drop privileges after setting up the listening port. You do this with process.setgid and process.setuid. See how Haraka does it here: https://github.com/baudehlo/Haraka/blob/master/server.js#L267
Though I highly recommend running a front end proxy like nginx instead. It's just easier and faster and gives you a bunch of easy to use features over making node the entire front end server.
