Ah, OK. I should have found that!

Now I have two questions if you can still bear with me. The milter is 
started from /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ and by default it is started as user 
maillnull. So is it all right to start it like this:

$ cd /usr/local/ (this is where I have lots of free space)

$ su
# /usr/local/libexec/dkim-filter -l -p inet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -P 
/path/to/pid -x /path/to/config/file

In other words if I am in /usr/local/ and start the milter from there as 
root, will the dump be put in /usr/local?

I appreciate your patience with me. My primary responsibilities are not 
IT-related. I simply hope to solve this issue. Thanks!
