I also ran a find with the group name and ID, maybe someone can let me
know if I'm missing any files:
# find / -group mail
/usr/local/etc/sasldb.db
/usr/local/libexec/mlock
/var/mail
/var/tmp/temproot/var/mail
# find / -group 6
/usr/local/etc/sasldb.db
/usr/local/libexec/mlock
/var/mail
/var/tmp/temproot/var/mail
