- FIXME: missing
+ Enables the ability for source address spoofing.
+ This means that the host running syslog-ng generates
+ UDP packets with the source IP address matching the
+ original sender of the message. It is useful when
+ you want to perform some kind of preprocessing via
+ syslog-ng then forward messages to your central log
+ management solution with the source address of the
+ original sender. This option only works for UDP
+ destinations though the original message can be
+ received by TCP as well.
