I have verified it, -oP seems to be completely ignored, pid_file_path
is _not_ set in the config-file, but we set
PID_FILE_PATH=/var/run/exim4/exim.pid in Local/Makefile (however I'd
think it to be a bug if command-line options did not override
compiletime defaults.), /var/run/exim4/ is 750 mail:mail (our
exim-user.)
Running "/usr/sbin/exim4 -oP /var/run/exim4/exim777.pid -q6h -d" shows
no reference of -oP:

Testing with "-bd -oX 777" instead of "-q6h" does not change anything.
I think this had worked with 4.14, because IIRC I tested it when
writing the init-script.
Please keep the Cc on replies, thanks.
thanks for your work, cu andreas
