Well, the patch that I have indicated is the minimum of
the minimum--and good so!--in fact it touches nearly zero
of Postfix. (I would also NOT accept anything of the genre
that would go more in depth AND DOESN'T come with Wietse
Venema's green light.) 

Why does it need to be in svlogd per se?, use
socklog--from the SAME runit series (or *family*) and uses
the IDENTICAL style of config. files--I don't start any
log service for Postfix. 

Example from my /var/log/socklog/mail/...: 

...
2006-03-08_14:33:46.20193 mail.info: Mar  8 21:33:44
 postfix/postfix-script: starting the Postfix mail system
 (foreground)
2006-03-08_14:33:56.25236 mail.info: Mar  8 21:33:56
 postfix/master[156]: daemon started -- version
 2.3-20060202, configuration /etc/postfix
...
2006-03-08_22:32:05.18664 mail.info: Mar  9 05:32:05
 postfix/pickup[1005]: xxxxx: uid=yyyy from=<zzz>
... 

It doesn't solve 1-1 your requirements, but it's a
solution ... provided your #1 goal is to use Postfix a' la
runit (and mine it is). 


Cheers,
