>Description:
The UID and GID for postfix and the GID for maildrop is hard coded into the postfix install script (/usr/ports/mail/postfix/pkg-install). This is fine and dandy if no user has these UID and/or GID however if postfix is being installed in an existing environment it causes all sorts of problems. Please modify the install script to check the environment for a variable(s) that will define a UID & GID for postfix and maildrop

>How-To-Repeat:
read the file /usr/ports/mail/postfix/pkg-install like this

vi +56 /usr/ports/mail/postfix/pkg-install
