If the security recommendation is to run mimedefang as a non-root user,
should the sample init script uncomment MX_USER?

# Run the multiplexor and filters as this user, not root.  RECOMMENDED
# MX_USER=@DEFANGUSER@

Should this be:

# Run the multiplexor and filters as this user, not root.  RECOMMENDED
MX_USER=@DEFANGUSER@

to follow the recommendation?

Cheers.
