Thank you, I tried it immediately. I found a good reference also at rsyslog.com/doc/rsyslog_conf_filter.html ... unfortunately, it doesnt work: rsyslog ignores the line (which I put before the /var/log/messages line)

got it! You only missed that avahi-daemon is not in :msg, but in :syslogtag, so the correct line is ':syslogtag, contains, "avahi-daemon" ~', and it works!

Cheers -- did not know about those distinctions! I've edited in some stuff for posterity.
