Solaris doesn't help me, because they use UID 0. :-) NetBSD have user ``postfix'' with UID 12. Slackware Linux seems to have a user ``mail'' with UID 8. I don't have access to other platforms. I'm inclined to go with UID 12, but if you could suggest something better, I'd appreciate it. Ciao, Sheldon.
