IMHO all runtime files for courier (PID files, sockets etc.) belong to
a subdirectory of /var/run. This is how it works for Debian packages.
Vanilla Courier isn't very consistent in this regard, especially with
the various compile time options. That said, I consider Courier to be
a very good software suite and Sam a helpful and cooperative author.
Thanks for his work !
