qmail and qmail-smtpd log to stdout; 'splogger' forwards this logging
information to syslogd. syslogd will happily suck 100% of the CPU on a
busy mail server, preventing useful work from being done.
multilog is part of the daemontools package
(http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html); see
(http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/multilog.html). It flexible, configurable,
and much easier on the system. You really should install the dameontools
if you're not already running them.
