Right now the only solution is to use multiple postfix
instances, each with their own config and spool
directory. syslog_name and syslog_facility are global
parameters, I don't think this is likely to change.

You can still use symlinks with smtpd, just note that this
is not a documented feature and could stop working without
notice in future postfix versions.
