Yeah; I did that.  I quickly found the passage:

     ... To forward messages to another host, prepend  the
     hostname with the at sign (``@'').  

However, this seems to be the end of the trail.  None of the "syslog"
man pages seems to contain any other instance of "hostname", and just
looking for "host" doesn't help either.  What is this  hostname  that
I'm supposed to prepend with an at sign?  There is no hostname arg to
any of the functions, as far as I can tell.

So, while I can type '\@$hostname" easily enough,  I  don't  seem  to
have  a clue as where to stick the resulting string.  Is this perhaps
documented somewhere that I'm not clever enough to find?
