logging problem

[David Vosburgh]

I have, but there is no "-T" option to syslogd for Solaris (at least
from 2.6 through 2.8).  There is a "-t" option (disable the syslogd UPD
port), which is the default, and the way syslogd was running when I
first started MailScanner.  When that didn't work, I read the FAQ, which
suggested removing it.  I did, but it didn't fix the logging problem.
