Privileges are dropped as soon as possibe: right after binding the socket.
The pid file and log-files need to be writable by the effective user.
That is why for debian I use a /var/run/dbmail/ and /var/log/dbmail/
directory respectively which are owned by the effective user.
logfile = /var/log/dbmail/dbmail.log
errorlog = /var/log/dbmail/dbmail.err
pid_directory = /var/run/dbmail
So the startup script you deploy needs to make sure at least the pid
directory exists, and is writable by the effective user.
