I'm building courier-0.52.2 on a Trustix linux system: most thing have gone well, but I noticed that the install has set the file ownership to bin and daemon. Now I know I created a new user (courier) and group (courier), but I don't see where to tell the configuration about these.

You shouldn't need to do anything. If the 'courier' user exists, Courier will use it.

I built courier 0.47 (my current mail server is running that still) and I'm sure I recall the docs saying something about a configure option for the uid and gid, but I don't see it in the Installation Guide for the current version.

There are configuration options '--with-mailuser=courier --with-mailgroup=courier', but as I said above, you shouldn't need to use them if your username is 'courier'.
