--- Comment #4 from Dag-Erling Smørgrav <des@FreeBSD.org> ---
Are you actually forwarding messages, i.e. accepting messages from other
machines on a network socket and forwarding them to syslog.it.liu.se, or are
you only sending your own messages there?  If the former, you should explicitly
specify which addresses you want to listen on; right now, syslogd thinks you
want to receive messages on ::1, and those must be forwarded to an IPv6
destination.  If the latter, you should use -ss to prevent listening on any
network sockets at all.  However, reading the code, I suspect this may cause
syslogd to fail to create any outgoing sockets at all.

I'm assigning this ticket to Mark Johnston, who is most likely to know how to
handle it, but note that he is currently unavailable for the next several
weeks.
