logging problem

[David Vosburgh]

I get the normal sendmail logs to maillog, but nothing from
mailscanner/spamassassin.

I did some testing with Sys::Syslog and I think that's where the problem
is.  Even extremely simple attempts to log a message failed (without
errors).  A quick look on SunSolve didn't reveal any known compatibility
issues with syslogd, although there was a very current patch for syslog
out there.  Because we need to get the spam logging working to collect
metrics prior to a production roll-out, I brute forced it by changing a
few of the Sys:Syslog calls in Log.pm to use system calls to logger instead.
