+$DropTrailingLFOnReception
+--------------------------
+
+**Type:** global configuration parameter
+
+**Default:** on
+
+**Description:**
+
+Syslog messages frequently have the line feed character (LF) as the last
+character of the message. In almost all cases, this LF should not really
+become part of the message. However, recent IETF syslog standardization
+recommends against modifying syslog messages (e.g. to keep digital
+signatures valid). This option allows to specify if trailing LFs should
+be dropped or not. The default is to drop them, which is consistent with
+what sysklogd does.
+
+**Sample:**
+
+``$DropTrailingLFOnReception on``
+
