In Suse it appears both the incoming sendmail and the queue processing
sendmail want to write in /var/run/sendmail.pid. One of the two
complains but both still work.

I haven't seen this before. I use /etc/init.d/MailScanner restart but
rcMailScanner is just a link to that. So that should be no different.

I tried using rcMailScanner and I get this:
Jan 11 10:06:57 netlx094 sendmail-in[5416]: starting daemon (8.12.10): SMTP
Jan 11 10:06:57 netlx094 sendmail-client[5419]: starting daemon
(8.12.10): persistent-queueing at 00:30:00
Jan 11 10:06:57 netlx094 sendmail-out[5423]: starting daemon (8.12.10):
queueing at 00:30:00
Jan 11 10:06:57 netlx094 sendmail-out[5423]: unable to write
/var/run/sendmail.pid: Permission denied

And I can connect to both localhost and de configured IP address for SMTP.
