I'm already using metalog as a syslog replacement, but greatly prefer the
multilog format. I have not looked at socklog before - but will play with it
later.

One thing worth mention is that I don't really know whether I need -bdf or
whether there's a better way - I just found that using -bdf instead of the
-bd I found in my distribution's init script made it run in the foreground so
that daemontools could control it. I'm very new to exim yet.

Good to see somebody else using runit - I use one of the utilities from it
(chpst), and am considering switching a lot more over to it in the future.

Cheers,
