How can I have amavisd-new log to /var/log/maillog?

[Scott Henderson]

Subject pretty much says it all. I would prefer not to log to
either /var/log/messages, nor another, separate file. It would
be nicer, I think, to have amavis log to the same file as my mail
system does. Thanks for any help!

Use the settings in amavisd.conf to direct the logging to syslog:

$DO_SYSLOG = "yes"; # yes - syslog, no - file logging
$SYSLOG_LEVEL = "mail.info"; # or "user.info" or whatever

Then direct your syslogd (/etc/syslogd.conf) to place
mail.info (or whatever you set it to) to the same file
as your regular MTA sends its log to.

Which version? By default amavisd-snapshot logs to syslog using the mail
facility.
