If it's anything like Ubuntu - which seems very likely - than it's BSD
syslog's logger(3) utility, logging Mara's data into /var/log/daemon.log .

The exact startup line in Ubuntu's /etc/init.d/maradns script is:

--exec $DAEMON -- -f $rcfile </dev/null 2>&1 | logger -p daemon.notice -t $SERVERNAME 2>/dev/null

(Ubuntu has shifted away from SysVInit to "StartUp", an event-driven
alternative init.  Debian retains the classic SysVInit.)
