Sympa cannot see the socket /var/run/log

What version of FreeBSD are you running?

Check to see if syslogd is running
/etc/rc.d/syslogd status
or
ps -ax |grep syslogd

Try restarting the service
/etc/rc.d/syslogd restart

If this does not fix the issue then see what log sockets should be 
created. You should see /var/run/log in /var/run/syslogd.sockets
cat /var/run/syslogd.sockets
