[Pymilter] getting started with milter-template.py

[Alexander Vowinkel]

Yes, I did reload postfix. I just overlooked the " No such file or 
directory" warning.

However, your message opened my eyes.
Postfix runs in a chroot, so I put the socket in /var/spool/postfix/var/run/
and set the permissions correctly.

Now it works and I can write my milter :D

Thanks!
