Hi Julian,

I am noticing a problem with MailScanner running under a different
user (due to Exim). Would it be possible to create the PID file
before you switch the user context and then change the ownership of
that file appropriately? The problem is that usually a user mailnull
does not have write priviledges on /var/run under FreeBSD. This
change would make life a bit easier.

If that is not possible I would change the port to put the file into
/var/run/MailScanner and change the ownership of that directory.

Regards,
  JP
