Dear maintainer,

When stopping the service, the `postsrsd_postcmd()` function in the rc-script
attempts to remove the "/var/run/postsrsd" directory (redirecting stdout and
stderr to /dev/null hiding any error here). But the directory contains the
"postsrsd.pid" file and therefore `rmdir(1)` return the error code 1.

This break configuration management systems that attempt to stop and start the
service: the stop action returning 1, the action is considered a failure.

The rc subsystem checks that process with PID in the pid file correspond to the
actual service, so removing this directory is IMHO not required.  As a
consequence, I think we can remove that function completely.

What do you think?
