Current ps-aux fro syslog:
syslog 25310 0.0 0.0 1768 712 ? Ss 06:25 0:01
/sbin/syslogd -u syslog -a /var/lib/named/dev/log

mail is moving but nothing being logged in mail.log

after I stopped syslogd (/etc/init.d/syslogd stop) I suued the command
you suggested (syslogd -d) and the output is attached but I can't make
heads or tails of it.

I tail -f /var/log/mail.log agin after your command and It still looks
like nothing is being logged there even thought I know mail is moving.
 Also a ps -aux did not list syslogd as running so I I started it
again with /etc/init.d/syslogd -u syslog -a /var/lib/named/dev/log
