des> If it's used for the submission client, then use UID 587

Again, the daemon lists on port 587 and doesn't use that user ID.  It's for
the mail submission program (MSP), not mail submission agent (MSA).  Also,
I thought that were was unwritten rule that system UIDs were under 100.

des> call it something else ("submit", for instance, as "submission" would
des> be too long).

Sigh, I had hoped to leave it as documented in the sendmail docs instead of
having FreeBSD be different than other operating systems.  OpenBSD and
Solaris 9 have already adopted smmsp, uid 25.  The FreeBSD port also has
been using smmsp.
