Can't comment on the specifics of stunnel, but rsyslogd brought rate
limiting on the UNIX socket by default into a world where maintainers of
daemons have never thought much about what *PID* may be attached to the
messages they send to the syslog.

dovecot (logging per-connection messages through the master process all
the time) and OpenVPN (dumping config, including the persisted
assignment of pool IPs to clients, into syslog at startup) are the most
affected software on my end, and yes, I happily raise the rate limit to
whatever the former needs.
