From syslog.conf(5): > A hostname specification of the form `#+hostname' or `+hostname' means the following blocks will be applied to messages received from thespecified hostname. Alternatively, the hostname specification `#-hostname' or `-hostname' causes the following blocks to be applied to messages from any host but the one specified. If the hostname is given as `@', the local hostname will be used. As for program specifications, multiple comma-separated values may be specified for hostname specifications. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=syslog.conf So you should try something like at the end: # Send messages from localhost to remotelogger. +@ *.* @remotelog.example.com See also: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/configtuning-syslog.htmlhome | help
