I too would *very* much like the pis in the syslog. Here's why: It lets me
see which log messages go together. It is especially helpful when multiple
message are coming in at once and you want to see what the IP of the
spammer sending the message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] is. Right now, you
cannot tell which smtpd process logs which message and there is no way to
correlate an ip log message with a from/to log message.
