Why not just use recordio to do the same? i log the qmail-queue pid, 
message envelopes, and other useful data this way with the following run 
scripts:

/service/qmail-smtpd/run:

#!/bin/bash

ulimit -d 10000

export QMAILQUEUE='/usr/local/bin/qmail-filter-chain'
export HOST='pop.visi.net'
CONLIMIT=100

exec tcpserver                          \
    -c ${CONLIMIT}                      \
    -u201 -g200 -v -p -R -t 5           \
    -x /etc/tcprules.d/smtp.cdb         \
    0 smtp                              \
    /usr/bin/recordio                   \
    /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd          \
    smtp.visi.net                       \
    /usr/local/bin/checkpw-pop3         \
    /bin/true                           \
    2>&1



/service/qmail-smtpd/log/run:

#!/bin/sh
#
# Standard demontools logger
# ===

PROG=qmail-smtpd

  setuidgid qmaill \
