I would not recommend having a listening service run as root. Sendmail had many security flaws as a result of it being so monolithic. Postfix tends to skirt around that better with a modular approach and not being root.

What are you trying to accomplish? Sometimes, cutting off the intended implementation is a misunderstanding of what you need to do to reach what you want to happen.
