The reserved UIDs are listed in the porters handbook.  Postfix doesn't
seem to have one.

I have postfix running on my local systems and it just seems to grab
a normal UID.  This is the /etc/passwd entry for postfix one system here:

postfix:*:1002:1002:Postfix Mail System:/var/spool/postfix:/sbin/nologin
