The facility needs to be in the log.h file, and the /etc/syslog.conf
file, and you need to send syslogd a HUP signal. I've tested it, and
it works fine on Linux. For example, you can tell Qpopper to use
LOCAL2, and set LOCAL2 to log to /var/log/poplog in /etc/syslog.conf.
I have had some trouble getting it to work on Solaris, though.
