----------------------------------------------------------------------
since systemd files have their own configuration, they cannot be expected
to check dbmail.conf, but:

the systemd code should follow the autoconf style used in the rest of the
code, so defaults generated by configure, and explicit directory parameters
passed to configure must be respected:

so PID files go into the directory specified by

--localstatedir

which means, after taking a quick look - not tested - that references to
PID_DIR in systemd/Makefile.am should be replaced by localstatedir, just
like already done for sbindir

localstatedir will work until distributions support symlink /var/run ->

I'm sorry, but I don't understand. What do you mean? Why would a symlink be

Distibutions move /var/run to /run, however localstatedir usualy points to
/var. So we cannot specify /run/dbmail using localstatedir variable as I
understand.

They mount /run as a tmpfs. That is perfectly valid. And so is using
/run/dbmail as localstatedir.

It is up to the init scripts to make sure that any subdirectory below the
run tmpfs is created in time.

So you can point localstatedir to anything you like. It's a configure
option which defaults to PREFIX/var where PREFIX defaults to /usr/local.

For the debian packages I override these by explicitely using:
--prefix=/usr
--sysconfdir=/etc/dbmail
--localstatedir=/var/run/dbmail

and by making sure the init-script creates the needed localstatedir
directory if it doesn't exist.
