The only way is using "syslog-ng". Classical syslog can _not_ distinguish between _applications_ logging, but only between "facilities" (and "priorities") therefore everyting vpopmail logs with facility "mail" is sent to whatever syslog.conf defines for "mail.*". In case of priority settings in syslog.conf this plays it's role too, but any other programs log output with the same facility and priority is stored into the same log file. With syslog-ng you are able to store to different log files by making use of it's text filter capabilities, e.g. by sending lines containing 'vchkpw' to a different file than other messages with facility 'mail'.
