From syslog.conf(5):

> A hostname specification of the form `#+hostname' or `+hostname' means the following blocks will be applied to messages received from thespecified hostname.  Alternatively, the hostname specification `#-hostname' or `-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.  As for program specifications, multiple comma-separated values may be specified for hostname specifications.

So you should try something like at the end:

	# Send messages from localhost to remotelogger.
	+@
	*.*		@remotelog.example.com
