=46rom 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 =

specifications.

So you should try something like at the end:

	# Send messages from localhost to remotelogger.
	+@
	*.*		@remotelog.example.com
