            Bug ID: 214438
           Summary: mail/milter-greylist: Change default paths to the port
                    working files
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)

When installing milter-greylist port creates directory /var/milter-greylist/
for its database and socket:
/var/milter-greylist/greylist.db
/var/milter-greylist/milter-greylist.sock
and puts this paths in sample config file. Also sample config offers to put log
file in /var/milter-greylist/ too.

It doesn't look like good practice to create a directory directly in /var only
for database and socket as there are already special dirs for such tasks:
/var/db for databases, /var/log/ for log files and /var/run or just /tmp for
sockets. I think it'd be better to move database and socket to the standard
paths and change sample config file accordingly.
