Hi,

I was noticing a problem for a while now with nullmailer not trying to
send mail when I sent it, but it was sending mail when I went online with
ppp

I finally tracked this down to the fact that my ppp/ip-up script was
pulling the trigger manually (echo -n . >>/var/spool/nullmailer/trigger)
as 'root', but nullmailer-send could not do it as 'nullmailer' because the
INSTALL script makes the fifo mode 0600 as root .. it seems that
SPECIAL_PERMS applies before the INSTALL script is run..

The patch below solves this, is it ok?

I'm not sure if there is a better way to make a fifo, or if there is a
different target that it could be made at (pre-post-install ? :)
