I believe syslog itself does that.  You can suppress it by adding
mark.none to the selector fields for whichever output log is getting
those messages.  E.g., if you've currently got a line like

*.=info;*.=notice                               /usr/adm/messages

in /etc/syslog.conf, changing it to

*.=info;*.=notice;mark.none                     /usr/adm/messages


will drop the mark messages out of /usr/adm/messages.

You can also eliminate the mark messages by starting syslogd with the
'-m 0' option.
