I think this satisfies my needs, thanks!

The default of syslog_name is
${multi_instance_name:postfix}${multi_instance_name?$multi_instance_name} 
(atleast
on ubuntu).

Is it possible to somehow use something like "-o
syslog_name=${syslog_name}-submission" to append "-submission" to the
default syslog_name? (In this case, preserving the multi-instance name?)
I am not fully aware how postfix parses config options - the config line
above doesn't work as is. Maybe there is a different way to achieve the
append?

Thank you!
Yannik
