- Well, are /var/run/milter and /var/log/milter directories supposed to be
  used also by other applications than pymilter?

  On Fedora there are already some srpms named *milter*. Would
  you know why none of these packages own these two directories?
  If you are unsure, I think it is better that these two directories
  should be owned by pymilter.

- If you want to maintain pymilter also on EL-4, okay.
