You can't send things without opening a socket. AFAIR syslogd does
not listen on that port (try to send messages to it). Newer versions
of syslogd (i.e. newer than 1.2) won't open the port per default even
without the need to send messages to another host. This is the only
improvement possible (unless somebody provides a better one).
