+.B "\-e"
+Turns on delivery of every message (e like "every"). Without this
+option, rsyslog tries to suppress what seems to be duplicate messages.
+This is done by stock syslogd and rsyslogd mimics this behaviour for
+best compatibility. In many cases, however, one would like to see all
+messages on remote hosts. In this case, turn on the -e option.
