I think it is an excellent idea to use programs that already provide
99.99% what you need.
You can use Postfix's syslog_name feature to change the program
name field in the logfile record, then use rsyslog or equivalent
to split the logging streams across different files.
THAT is a fully-supported solution TODAY. And that is my final
post in this discussion.
