[wplug] Running apache with user other than 'www' or 'httpd'?

[Mike Griffin]

Look in the httpd.conf file. You can run apache as any user you would like.
User/Group respectively.

Also, in that file, have a look at the ServerName directive.

It seems that one of my work servers (RedHat w/apache) has a problem.  
Emails generated from websites on that server are blocked by AOL and other 
ISPs using the same anti-spam software (I believe it's SpamCop, not sure 
though).

The IP of the server is not blocked.  "root" can send email no problem, 
but any email with "www at localhost" in the header is blocked.  Trouble is, 
any PHP generated email from the server has that in the header.

There is no PHP setting I can find that would change that.  So I'm curious 
if I could actually run apache with a different user (currently it's 
"www").  

Could I create a user such as "sugapablo" to run apache?  How would I do 
that?  Do you think that get around the AOL problem?
