I upgraded ubuntu rsyslog to 7.3.14 and still got the same issue.
My test procedure:
Clean log file. Set remote host IP to 127.255.255.1 (invalid IP) in rsyslog
conf. service rsyslog restart followed by logger in a loop. The disk queue
files are buffered but are limited to 96M overall. Set remote host IP to
valid IP. service rsyslog restart. I expect the queued files to be flushed
to the remote host but these files are still in the queuing directory.
This may be a silly thought, but the fact that you are changing the
configuration between these two steps could be part of the problem.
I would suggest that instead of changing the config to enable/disable sending
the logs that you instead keep the rsyslog config the same and set iptables
rules to block and unblock the communications.
