>Description:
In ver 1.35's /etc/newsyslog.conf, /var/log/maillog's permission is modified
from 0644 to 0640, but this modification prevents /usr/ports/mail/mailgraph
to read /var/log/maillog (it is run as www:www)

>How-To-Repeat:
on 5.2(it seems all HEAD branches have the same problem):

cd /usr/ports/mail/mailgraph && make install clean
mv /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mailgraph.sh.sample /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mailgraph.sh
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mailgraph.sh start

>Fix:
2 way to solve this problem:

1.chmod 0644 /var/log/maillog && vi /etc/newsyslog.conf

2.add user www to group wheel
