Not true. qmail-start starts the logger as the log user (qmaill),
eliminating the need for setuidgid (or setuser).
To the original poster: Yes, that will work as you want it to, assuming that
you have created a /var/log/qmail directory with the appropriate permissions
(it should be owned, or at least readable, writable, and searchable, by
qmaill).
