No, but I think this does help that.

     -s      Operate in secure mode.  Do not listen for log message from re-
             mote machines.

Of course, if you specify this you have no remote troubles at all.  If you 
specify this and -a you only have to deal with people spoofing udp datagrams
which is almost unavoidable unless you firewall incoming udp packets at your
border router.
