it may not do anything, but it accepts it without any problem. I recently upgraded a bunch of systems and discovered a week or so later that I wasn't getting logs from them and the reasons ended up being that I had copied the - from the old syslog.conf file into the rsyslog.conf file. removing it and restarting rsyslog made the logs flow again.
