Can I configure a Universal forwarder to send the syslog messages to a (non splunk) syslog server?

Right now I have Universal forwarder which is sending data to a Splunk Indexer. Can I configure the same forwarder to send the data to another system (no splunk) as syslog messages?

According to the Docs, you need to use a Heavy Forwader to use Syslog Routing:

Syslog data
You can configure a heavy forwarder to send data in standard syslog format. The forwarder sends the data through a separate output processor. You can also filter the data with props.conf and transforms.conf. You'll need to specify _SYSLOG_ROUTING as the DEST_KEY.
