I realised that it was calling syslog when I trussed the syslogd on the parent computer and saw movement when the test email was sent.
after that I added "*.alert;*.crit;*.err;*.warning;*.notice;*.info;*.debug /var/log/testing" to syslog (log everything except "emerg" which is shoited out to every display everywhere) and then watched the file when I sent the test message again ... anyway, I've got a working system, and I can grep syslog for email addresses, so that's a win! Thanks everyone.
