[syslog-ng]Sending a log line via e-mail

 program() destination launches a program when syslog-ng starts and
 sends the log lines on its stdin.  the program is not launched for each
 line.

 you can write a shell script or an awk / perl program to read stdin
 and call mail for each line, this would translate in shell to:
 while read line; do echo "$line" | mail -s UPSlog acsehi@qsoft.hu; done
