I think rsyslog should "be liberal in what it receives and conservative in what it send". So, maybe allow receiving messages with large tags, but don't send them out to other rfc3164-expecting servers. Sending large tags should maybe only be done in RELP.. ? -jf _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog
