Is this still reproducible with the rsyslog version from Debian stretch?

Bug#853216: rsyslog: mmanom does not anonymise IPv6 addresses

[Sascha Silbe]

Package: rsyslog
Version: 8.4.2-1+deb8u2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

rsyslog ships the mmanom module which is useful for stripping IP
addresses from log messages for services that do not offer log format
customisation themselves. Unfortunately it doesn't support IPv6, so
it's of no use for IPv6 enabled services which should be pretty much
everything these days.

Depending on the circumstances, anonymising log messages may be
required by data protection law (or "just" be best practice) so having
an easy way for administrators to do this is important.
