<DT><B>Mail owner</B><DD><P>The "Mail owner" option specifies the owner of the Postfix queue
and of most "Postfix daemon processes". Specify the name of a
user account THAT DOES NOT SHARE A GROUP WITH OTHER ACCOUNTS AND
THAT OWNS NO OTHER FILES OR PROCESSES ON THE SYSTEM. In particular,
don't specify nobody or daemon. PLEASE USE A DEDICATED USER.
This option sets the "mail_owner" postfix variable.
<P>
<DT><B>Default privileges</B><DD><P>The "Default privileges" option specifies the default rights used
by the local delivery agent for delivery to external file or command.
These rights are used in the absence of a recipient user context.
DO NOT SPECIFY A PRIVILEGED USER OR THE POSTFIX OWNER. This option
sets the "default_privs" postfix variable.
