Cyrus logging, /var/log/imapd.log

Since upgrading Cyrus imapd to 2.2.3, there have been no entries in
/var/log/imapd.log. I did a little Googling, and learned that syslog is
actually doing the logging. syslog is running, the ps command shows:

root      1565     1  0 Apr10 ?        00:21:33 syslogd -m 0

In /etc/syslog.conf, I have the following pertinent lines:

mail.*              	/var/log/maillog
local6.debug        	/var/log/imapd.log

/var/log/imapd.conf is rw for root, the same as the other log files. I can't
find any errors related to syslog in /var/log/messages. I tried removing the
empty file, and restarting syslog. This creates a new imapd.log file, but
nothing gets written to it.

If I comment out the local6.debug line, then the imap log entries get logged
to /var/log/maillog/ This is OK, but I'd rather have a separate logfile for
imap. What am I doing wrong?
