Is it possible to have have dbmail programs (smtp, pop3, imap) log to a different syslog handler other than default mail?

I'm asking cause my email server sends out over 100K emails every 24 hours and with all the incoming logging, sorting our dbmail entries can be a real pain. The problem is currently compounded with me pushing out 100K of backlogged out mail.

Right now I'm trying to enable TRACE=5 for smtp to trace a confirmed SIG11 problem with dbmail-smtp. Fortunately the problem is specific to an email/user so it should be pretty easy to find. If dbmail already can specific an alternate log file within dbmail.conf, it would make logging/debugging dbmail stuff a lot easier without going through ("tail -n", "cat") + "grep" that I have to do now to filter all the non-dbmail junk.
