Re: [syslog-ng] valid HOSTNAME characters in syslog?

Is '@' a valid character in HOSTNAME field of syslog message? If YES, I am looking for an RFC reference. At least, SyslogNG treats '@' as valid while relaying such message.

Looks like you haven't seen chain_hostnames() in action. So check that option, and you will be enlightened why syslog-ng accepts @ in the hostnames :) regards, Sandor -------------------------------------------------------- NOTICE: If received in error, please destroy and notify sender.
