Thanks,<BR>&nbsp;<BR>I will try that flag. I have to mention that store-legacy-msghdr isn't used on the first syslog-ng server that receives the original message and saves it in the "original" format using the file() destination, but changes it when forwarding to a UDP destination, which seems to be an inconsistency.<BR>&nbsp;<BR>Cheers,<BR>&nbsp;<BR>Steve<BR><BR>----- Message d'origine -----<BR>De: Balazs Scheidler &lt;bazsi@balabit.hu&gt;<BR>Date: Mercredi, 8 Juillet 2009, 4:04<BR>Objet: Re: [syslog-ng] Syslog-ng beginners guide<BR>À: Syslog-ng users' and developers' mailing list &lt;syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu&gt;<BR><BR>&gt;
