While I was writing a custom email notifier, I set it up to run logger(1) instead of /usr/sbin/sendmail, to avoid spamming myself during testing. I noticed that these syslogs ended up in my mail queue anyway, aggregated hourly by logcheck[0].
I think this is actually more convenient for me, so I'm officially asking for a plugin that will register a notification handler using syslog(3). This is not a high priority, because it's pretty trivial to have a NotifyExec sh script that calls logger, but doing it in the main process would be prettier. (That and I assume this might be useful for others.)
