The clamav-milter code is scattered liberally with cli_*msg lines, which do all of this. I am slowly working through a patch set for output unification that basically dumps all of the work on the logg() function in shared/output.c It will be up to logg() to decide whether a message should go to syslog, the console, a seperate logfile, or some combination, depending on variables set in the calling program. As you can imagine, this is not a small patch set, so it is taking some time. Then of course there is the uncertainty of whether or not the Team members will want the patch, but it seems like something that needs to be done. I administer all of my systems that run the milter headless, and I never see the messages you are mentioning, but this is reminding me that I am probably missing important information because it's not going to logs that then get parsed and mailed to me.
To avoid any duplication of effort, I'd like to encourage anyone looking at a logging code-cleanup to work with Stephen Gran on this. I've discussed it with him off-list, and think he's got a really good approach to the issue. I'm (very) eagerly awaiting the completion of his patch and its inclusion in the main tree.
