(Russ, could you add the link to www.qmail.org?)
I have a daemontools patch available that allows daemontools-0.70's
multilog to reintroduce accustamp-style time stamps if desired. The patch
introduces a "T" multilog action for that. Like the "t" action, it has
to be the first action given to multilog.
Using accustamps in multilog is particularly useful if the logs are run
through qmailanalog's matchup, since qmailananlog currently (0.70) is
not TAI64 aware.
A better approach would be to patch matchup, but that would not be as
simple as patching daemontools, so I'm not doing that at the moment.
Talking of safety: Do note that accustamp-style time stamps will only
work until the year 2038 since the 32-bit UNIX time will overflow then.
See http://cr.yp.to/time.html for detailed information.
My patch is available as context diff at:

Note that I'm not subscribed to the qmail mailing list, so if you reply
to the qmail mailing list only, please Cc: me. (I am subscribed to the
log mailing list).
