Spamd logging to syslog

After upgrading to 3.2.1 from 3.1.1 and not installing with an rpm, i am
unable to get any shell script to work for spamd. Our old spamd script
was logging to a syslog server. So, using the /usr/bin/spamd binary, is
it possible to log to a syslog server? If so, how would i do this?

It does so by default, to the mail facility.

Just to verify, you have the Sys::Syslog module installed?  (I believe it's
standard with perl, and spamd would likely crash w/ an error if it wasn't,
but...)
