K, rsync takes a Message of the Day (motd) file. Does it display the entire contents of the file? Or can you separate messages in the file using a delimiter?...

According to the manpage for motd:
# man motd
MOTD(5) Linux Programmerâs Manual MOTD(5)
NAME
motd - message of the day
DESCRIPTION
The contents of /etc/motd are displayed by login(1) after a successful login but just before it executes the login shell.
So no, you can't separate messages with a delimiter.
