It is the "add an user _by hand_" that I want to avoid.

Both http://mlmmj.org/docs/readme-exim4/ and http://mlmmj.org/docs/readme-postfix/
say to create a mlmmj user.


What would an acceptable place for inclusion of 


            adduser --system --quiet \
                --home /var/spool/mlmmj --no-create-home \
                --shell /bin/false --ingroup mlmmj \
                --gecos "Mailing List Management Made Joyful" \
                mlmmj


?
