Hi Miroslav,

what do you mean with "postfix is nolonger in my manualy defined group"?

In the postfix port there was no code to remove the postfix user from
any group or delete the postfix user.
If my speculation is correct and this was not a fresh install, then the
postfix user is now member of the groups *mail, postfix and maildirs*.
