By +default, it is '\\', which is backwards-compatible with sysklogd. Change +it to '#' in order to be compliant to the value that is somewhat +suggested by Internet-Draft syslog-protocol. + +**IMPORTANT**: do not use the ' character. This is reserved and will +most probably be used in the future as a character delimiter. For the +same reason, the syntax of this parameter will probably change in future +releases. + +**Sample:** + +``$EscapeControlCharactersOnReceive # # as of syslog-protocol`` + |
