Problem getting popper to log to a differnt file

My /var/log/messages file gets spammed with popper connections, and I am trying to change it to point to a saperate file. The man page says it logs to local0, notice, but changing this produces no effect. (The man page also says the default log file is /usr/spool/mqueue/syslog) (I also tried numerous other facilities and log levels to no avail. I know the syntax of syslog.conf, and I also have other custom log files that work fine. Is popper broken in this regard? Had anyone gotten this to work. I hate to write a script to parse the log into different files. Thankx, CC
