You could use the program() destination to send messages to a custom script,
which may send an email or anything you want to.

I don't exactly understand what you mean here. If you want to filter out
messages containing some string, you can do that of course:

source src {};
destination dst {};

filter f_nm { not match("stringtofilter"); };

log { source(src); filter(f_nm); destination(dst); };
