Thank you, Wayne!   But, in fact, I recently switched from --logfile to --syslog,
because I wanted timestamps.  The logs emitted with the --logfile option don't
have timestamps.  Syslogd seems to add timestamps to the messages before
writing them.

Also, I wanted to learn how to control desitinations of syslog messages not
only for fetchmail but also for other cases.

Thanks anyway,
Ryo
