Exiting silently when pidfile creation fails, should not happen (but that probably why the default is in /tmp right now ;>). It should at least put something in the logs and have an exit code indicating issues. I'll look into that. As far as not creating a pid file: that would be possible. Proper way would probably be to have a directory (/var/run/dspam-milter f.i.) owned by the user running the milter, and put the pidfile in there. The directory would have to be managed by the init script, i.e. distro-specific. I created an issue for this: https://github.com/whyscream/dspam-milter/issues/16 Tom
