Hi,

I want to install Postfix 2.7.2 by compiling it from sources.
In the INSTALL file I saw the following statement:

            "In the instructions below, a command written as "#
command" should be executed as the superuser.
             A command written as "% command" should be executed as an
unprivileged user."

My question is:
   The user used to configure/compile the sources is used in anyway in
Postfix later?
   Is there any security risk if I configure/compile all the sources
as the superuser? (I am referring only to the build/installation
process)

Thank you,

Buzai
