lists>   logger -h 10.10.10.5 -p 'crit' "this is a test"
lists>   logger -h 127.0.0.1 -p 'crit' "this is a test"

I just tried on my box and it runs.
If you don't specify service at -a option, 514 is assumed by default.
It's a privilege port and general users cannot bind it.  If you wish
to allow the connections from general user, you must specify * as
service like follows:

	syslogd -n -vv -a '10.10.10.0/24:*' -a '127.0.0.1/32:*'

lists> and neither worked. However it is receiving syslog messages from other hosts

lists> *.*					@10.10.10.5

Since syslogd does bind to 514, it works.
