Well, first of all, I meant myself with RTFM (Read the Fine manual), because 
right on the first page of the manpage for courierlogger it reads:

facility=subsystem
              Use  subsystem  for classifying messages.

I've looked into this a little deeper and this isn't as easy as it seemed at 
first. Because courierlogger is execl'd by couriertcpd with only one argument 
allowed, and this argument must not start with a dash (-), or else 
courierlogger assumes that it is started in standalone-mode and then 
complains about the missing -name-option. But since there's only one argument 
allowed that must not start with a dash, your're stuck.

This can be done if you tell couriertcpd not to log to courierlogger, but to a 
logfile. For this you have to edit the startup-scripts of your daemons 
(courier-imapd, courier-pop3d and so on). Somewhere in the start-function it 
reads:

${exec_prefix}/sbin/couriertcpd -address=$ADDRESS \
                        -stderrlogger=/usr/sbin/courierlogger \
                        -stderrloggername=imapd \

You have to replace -stderrlogger and -stderrloggername with only one option:

-stderr=/path/to/logfile

For each daemon you can specify a separate logfile. That would give you what 
you want, BUT: this has one (major) drawback: There will be no timestamps in 
your logfiles since those are added by the syslogger...

If this is a problem, you're back to square one: Use an alternative 
syslog-daemon like metalog or syslog-ng.
