You've upgraded sysklogd to the most recent version, as it's maintainer
you may believe me.

*ROTFL*

	I'm getting bugreports because it doesn't work.
	People now wonder that it works.
	This is silly.

rtfm btw:

       -m interval
              The syslogd logs a mark  timestamp  regularly.  The
              default interval between two -- MARK -- lines is 20
              minutes. This can be changed with this option.

So if you don't want to receive this either set a higher interval
or add mark.none to the lines in /etc/syslog.conf.
