You are aware that rsyslogd != sys(k)logd, right?

Not as aware as I should be, I suppose, but yes - which is why I
restarted both. I basically looked for everything with log in it in
/etc/init.d and ps ax, and restarted them, including /etc/init.d/klogd.

In the interest of clarity, system is running Ubuntu Lucid, and there is
no syslogd on the system (except /etc/default/syslogd), only sysklogd,
which seems to be its replacement.

And yet your ps(1) output indicates that only rsyslogd is running? I'm
not an Ubuntu user, so perhaps someone else can chime with a hint. Since
this does not appear to be a Postfix issue, you might also wish to
pursue this on a more appropriate mailing list.

I have this:

*.*;auth,authpriv.none,cron.none,mail.none -/var/log/syslog

I don't know the significance of a comma versus a semi-colon, but this
works for me.
