Building cyrus-imapd-2.2.12 on 64 bit linux

[Rob Tanner]

Alexander,

One of my major reasons for building cyrus-imapd myself rather than with 
an RPM is that the FC4 distro RPM version logs as the mail facility, and 
I do not want both the MTA and cyrus-imapd logging to the same syslog 
file.  Building from unmodified source, messages are logged using the 
local6 facility.  Do you know if Simon's package has also been modified 
like the FC4 distro?  I've not worked with source rpms and I'm not 
comfortable trying to figure it out for myself.  Or even better, is 
there an undocumented option (imapd.conf or cyrus.conf directive) to set 
the facility -- I certainly couldn't find a reference in the man pages.

Thanks,
Rob
