If more than one application is running on the same host, what is the easiest way of identifying which application sent which message?

The easiest way is to initiate logging (similar to openlog(3) in C programming) with 'application/user' or 'application/function' (as, e.g. postfix does) in the ident string. If different instances of the application are doing different things, you can also initiate logging using different facilities in order to differentiate.
