Description:
This task is continuation of task #32551. dbmail still cannot create PID files beacause /var/run/dbmail is missing after system start.

Additional info:
* package version: 3.0.2-6

My way to fix this:
1. Place attached file into /usr/lib/systemd/scripts with name 'dbmail' and 755 permissions
2. In [Service] section of each .service file add this line.
ExecStartPre=/usr/lib/systemd/scripts/dbmail

Explaination:
Before start daemon systemd will launch script which creates /var/run/dbmail and change it's ownership according to settings in /etc/dbmail.conf (EFFECTIVE_USER and EFFECTIVE_GROUP values).

Thanks for the attentions))

The other way to fix this problem is creating a file /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/dbmail.conf with this content:
#=========================================
d /run/dbmail 0755 nobody nobody -
#=========================================

but with this method we can automatically update user and group when user changes it in /etc/dbmail.conf
