Note that qmail logs to STDOUT. If you followed step 8 of INSTALL,
you'll realize that it is splogger who feeds syslog.
Since you apparently have daemontools installed I suggest you forget
about syslog, and use multilog to do the logging.
On our 4.0D boxes /service/qmail/run contains
#!/bin/sh
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" qmail-start ./Mailbox
and /service/qmail/log/run contains
#!/bin/sh
exec setuidgid qmaill multilog t s500000 n20 /var/log/qmail
which means that log entries end up in /var/log/qmail/current.
We have a similar approach for the SMTP service using tcpserver,
and it's all working very well.
