Hi Sandor,

Thanks for the quick reply and a proposed workaround.

Why does it make sense in a source context but not in a destination
context?

You could argue that it makes even more sense in a destination context,
because it allows to deal with legacy systems, whereas syslog-ng doesn't
need any size limitations.

Cheers
