This kind of confusion and the resulting support nightmare is exactly
what Dan is trying to avoid with his distribute-unmodified-source-only
distribution terms. I'm sure this qmail+patches bundle complies with
the letter of the law by including the pristine qmail tarball to which
it applies the patches, but that violates Dan's intent.

 Qmail traditionally logs all pop3 transactions in 
 /var/log/maillog using
 syslog or whatever it is.

Really? I didn't think it logged anything. Are you sure you're not using a
patched version?

Well, I am using qmail-1.03+patches.tar.gz, downloaded from a reliable
source of course.  Qmail-send and qmail-smtp log their information using
multilog, in the correct place of course (/var/log/qmail/(service-name).

What I am trying to do, is just move the log output of qmail-pop3d to the
same path, from maillog.

Currently logging is controlled by supervise (Daemon tools I think), and
uses logger or syslog (I think), to write log file output.  I want to change
that output to be written by multilogger.

Any ideas?

Sean
