You can use the -v option to syslogd temporarily, to have syslog print
the numeric or name of each facility/priority in the log files. This
will let you find out which pair of facility.priority is the one that
catches Imail's POP service.
For example, I killed syslogd while writing this message, and
restarted it with:
# /usr/sbin/syslogd -ssvv
only to see a few seconds later in my logfile:
Jan 14 22:45:04 <kern.info> hades syslogd: kernel boot file is /boot/kernel/kernel
