Seems like "imfile" could be trivially implemented trough:
while sleep $InputFilePollInterval ; do
logtail $InputFileName $InputFileStateFile | \
logger -t $InputFileTag -p
$InputFileFacility.$InputFileSeverity
done
http://debian.stro.at/bzr-test/logtail/
Or for realtime monitoring:
tail --follow=name --retry $InputFileName | \
logger -t $InputFileTag -p $InputFileFacility.$InputFileSeverity
IMHO rsyslogd might be trying to do too much internally. When will it start
reading mail ? That might not sound too far fetched.. :-)

which cannot so expand are replaced by ones which can." -- jwz
