           Summary: spamd is unable to log to stderr w/out timestamps
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: SVN Trunk (Latest Devel Version)
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: spamc/spamd
        AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
        ReportedBy: tkooda-spamassassin-bugzilla@devsec.org


When using something like multilog [1] for logging, it is undesirable to have
spamd add timestamps before every line.

I couldn't find a way to disable the timestamps when logging to the 'stderr'
facility (--syslog-facility=stderr), so I wrote a trivial patch [2] to provide a
new 'multilog' facility (--syslog-facility=multilog).

The 'multilog' facility works just like the 'stderr' logging facility, except
the output lines look more like this:

  spamd[11903]: server started on port 783/tcp (running version 3.0.0)

Can anyone think of a better way to accomplish this?  (have spamd log to stderr
w/out timestamps)
