+<h3>Blocks</h3>
+<p>Rsyslogd supports BSD-style blocks inside rsyslog.conf. Each block of lines
+is separated from the previous block by a program or hostname specification. A
+block will only log messages corresponding to the most recent program and
+hostname specifications given. Thus, a block which selects ‘ppp’ as the program,
+directly followed by a block that selects messages from the hostname ‘dialhost’,
+then the second block will only log messages from the ppp program on dialhost.
+</p>
+<p>A program specification is a line beginning with ‘!prog’ and the following
+blocks will be associated with calls to syslog from that specific program. A
+program specification for ‘foo’ will also match any message logged by the kernel
+with the prefix ‘foo: ’. A hostname specification of the form ‘+hostname’ and
+the following blocks will be applied to messages received from the specified
+hostname. Alternatively, a hostname specification ‘-hostname’ causes the
+following blocks to be applied to messages from any host but the one specified.
+If the hostname is given as ‘@’, the local hostname will be used. (NOT YET
+IMPLEMENTED) A program or hostname specification may be reset by giving the
+program or hostname as ‘*’.</p>
+<p>Please note that the "#!prog", "#+hostname" and "#-hostname" syntax available
+in BSD syslogd is not supported by rsyslogd. By default, no hostname or program
+is set.</p>
<h3>Selectors</h3>
<p><b>Selectors are the traditional way of filtering syslog messages.</b> They
have been kept in rsyslog with their orginal syntax, because it is well-known,
