logging problem: logging to both /var/log/amavisd.log and to /var/log/messages

Amavisd is logging to both the intended /var/log/amavisd.log and to
/var/log/messages, where it dominates the logs to a degree that makes
catching other issues more difficult.
My relevant config is:
$log_level = 0; # verbosity 0..5, -d SET TO ZERO NORMALLY
$log_recip_templ = undef; # disable by-recipient level-0 log entries
$do_syslog = 1; # log via syslogd (preferred)
$syslog_facility = 'local0'; # Syslog facility as a string
# e.g.: mail, daemon, user, local0, ... local7
# below is an attempt to keep amavisd from logging to messages
# $LOGFILE = "/var/log/amavisd.log";
Note that I get the same results whether $LOGFILE =
"/var/log/amavisd.log"; is commented out or not. Setting $do_syslog =
0; prevents amavisd from starting.
The optimal outcome would be for all messages to be logged to
/var/log/amavisd.log, but I've run out of google guidance. The double
logging has me a bit perplexed.
