You can't use a hex number there, it needs to be decimal. I don't see a macro that we can use to properly set the decimal <PRI> in the beginning of a templated message. Bazsi, can you shed any light on this?

I dug into it, and it looks like the PRI macro should work. See news releases below.

Try a template like this:
destination self { udp("cashmere.comp.uvic.ca" template("<$PRI>$FACILITY $PRIORITY From $HOST: $MESSAGE\n"));

 	* fixed afunix and afinet destination template handling, do not include
 	  the PRI value automatically, let the administrator do it
 	  explicitly in its template

	* added a new macro named "PRI" which inserts the decimal value of
	  the message priority (pri + level value combined)
