I've seen this issue at least with 1.34-1.2 on Jessie, too.

It seems to have vanished with the fix for
https://bugs.debian.org/670681 I'm currently testing -- which is also
pid file related. These two issues may be related. I suspect one to be
the cause for the other, but I'm not sure what's cause and what's
effect. :-)

Pidfile from 1.34-1.2 after a clean start:

-rw-r--r--  1 postgrey postgrey   6 Jun 26 17:53 /run/postgrey.pid

Pidfile from 1.34-1.2 one "service postgrey restart" later:

-rw-r--r--  1 root root   6 Jun 26 17:53 /run/postgrey.pid

Strange permissions which may cause messages as the one mentioned in
this report. I though haven't seen them on this system, but on others.
Like the one where the following comes from, before I installed the
fix for #670681:

Pidfile from potential 1.34-1.3, independent if freshly started or
restarted:

-rw-r--r-- 1 postgrey postgrey 6 Jun 26 17:51 /run/postgrey.pid
