I don't want to cause unnecessary work/risk to your production systems. We might solve this problem without touching those.

The change I referenced actually changed how "program name" is parsed from incoming log messages to match the RFC, see 
the mailing list archives, sender "Tsurusawa Takeshi", Oct 22, 2007.

Can you confirm that the problem is related to the fact that syslog-ng recognizes "postfix" 
as the name of the program, whereas it earlier recognized "postfix/smtp"?

You originally stated that you were bitten by a configuration file change. Did you mean 
that syslog-ng refused to start with the new configuration file, _or_ that it behaved 
differently?

And furthermore, if it started but worked differently do you think this is caused by the 
change I outlined above? (e.g. program name is "postfix" instead of "postfix/smtp")

As I'm positive about the issue, I've created an experimental patch, that should address this issue:

http://git.balabit.hu/?p=bazsi/syslog-ng-2.0.git;a=commit;h=371106481ce3dd3c2a3c146ca07e993c948b4805

Hopefully this fixes this issue, however some testing would be appreciated.
