Making a hard link to Postfix service smtpd and giving it another name (like 
smtpd) makes it syslog its reports under a new name. This is half-supported 
in Postfix, i.e. it works now, but no promises are given for the future.

  ln /usr/local/libexec/postfix/smtpd /usr/local/libexec/postfix/smtpd2

Then letting postfix accept mail coming from amavisd
not with a standard service 'smtpd':
  10025 inet n - n - - smtpd
but by specifying an alternative copy of smtpd service (e.g. named smtpd2):
  10025 inet n - n - - smtpd2

This will allow checked and passed mail from amavisd, well as
all notifications, to be logged under smtpd2 service in syslog,
leaving the rest logged under service smtpd.
