Public bug reported:

I'm seeing lots of message like this:

Dec 21 13:09:35 webmail rsyslogd-2177: imuxsock begins to drop messages from pid 1552 due to rate-limiting
Dec 21 13:09:38 webmail rsyslogd-2177: imuxsock lost 190 messages from pid 1552 due to rate-limiting

although the config contains:
$SystemLogRateLimitInterval 0

which should disable the rate-limiting. And yes, rsyslogd has been
restarted after setting SystemLogRateLimitInterval 0!
