Another option would be to create a subdirectory under /var/run : 
/var/run/MIMEDefang an put the file there. 
It's what does Bind 9.x does on many Linux platforms : 
# ls -ld  /var/run/named
drwxr-xr-x    2 named    named        4096 mai 26 21:09 /var/run/named/
# ls -l  /var/run/named*
-rw-r--r--    1 named    named           4 mai 26 21:09 named.pid
