No idea about the syslog stuff, but with activesync logging set to  
'Horde', all activesync related messages are logged to your Horde log.  
If you want activesync to log messages to a separate file, set it to  
'Custom' and enter the path to a log file to receive the activesync  
log messages. The 'Custom' log can only write to a separate text file,  
it doesn't have the ability to write to syslog.
