This looks like a difference between the version of Sys::Syslog you're 
using and the one I'm using.  I'm using 0.18, but an earlier version, 
0.13, is shipped with Perl.  It looks to me like they got more "liberal" 
about log facilities in most recent version.  Since it appears that the 
'LOG_MAIL' you suggested is compatible with both 0.13 and 0.18, I've 
modified the script as you suggested to use that string, even though 
it's not the syntax recommended by the Sys::Syslog man page for version 
0.18.

Thanks, I've put an updated version of your gentoo script as well as an 
updated version of bogofilter-milter.pl up on my home page 
(http://stuff.mit.edu/~jik/).

Is it possible that the clamav milter is changing the permissions on 
bogofilter-milter.sock?  Other than that, I have no guesses, sorry.  
Perhaps ask about it in comp.mail.sendmail?
