As FBSD is still new to me, I am trying to understand what it would 
involve. Exim is configured to log to /var/log/exim/mainlog. In the 
newsyslog.conf I have

/var/log/exim/mainlog mailnull:mail 640 60 * @T00 ZC

Does it mean exim uses syslogd? It is not obvious to me. If it does, how 
can I do the same with dovecot? In dovecot.conf I have the path pointing 
to /var/log/exim/mainlog. If I want to use syslogd, do I have to write to 
/var/log/maillog?

I want to get it right using the first solution. Thank you very much 
for your patience with me!
