Another method is to create a script called for instance syslog-ng-mail.sh,
containing
#!/bin/sh
while read line; do
        echo $line | /usr/bin/mailx -s "$1" $2
done
...and then pipe all your matched messages to this script with two arguments
of the subject and email address to send to. This makes it very generic.
I'd be careful with unchecked alerts over email. See
http://www.campin.net/newlogcheck.html#warning for the reason why, 
and a solution.
