It depends on what you use the "mail" and "nogroup" for. The
mail_privileged_group is used for creating dotlocks to directories where
you normally don't have write access (/var/mail). mail_access_groups
gives the process full access to the group, allowing the user to
read/write to all files/dirs readable/writable by that group.
