"mark" is one of the "facilities" that you can define/undefine in
/etc/syslog.conf
try man 5 syslog.conf
if it bothers you, you can add ";mark.none" on the line that defines
syslog output messages to /dev/console.
FYI, man says:
"
The special facility ``mark'' receives a message at priority ``info'' ev-
ery 20 minutes (see syslogd(8)). This is not enabled by a facility field
containing an asterisk.
The special level ``none'' disables a particular facility.
