FreeBSD syslog troubles

ummm...I can't tell you what version. The -v option is a FreeBSD
extension for verbose (and there is no -V). Manually starting syslogd
doesn't report the version. The man pages aren't helping me either.

This is a FreeBSD 4.5 box -- the latest.

For what it's worth, spamassassin is writing to the maillog...
