I tried the following configuration:

source src { unix-stream("log"); internal(); };

destination d1 { file("d1"); };
destination d2 { file("d2"); };
destination d3 { file("d3"); };

filter fn_snort         { not match("snort"); };
filter f_snort          { match("snort"); }; # it works

log { source(src); filter(fn_snort); destination(d1); };
log { source(src); filter(f_snort); destination(d2); };
log { source(src); destination(d3); };

and I sent the following log messages:

logger -u log "valami" 
logger -u log -t snort hallo

It correctly sent messages to their appropriate destination. I suspect a bug
in either Solaris or in Solaris/syslog-ng interoperation. Could anybody
check this?
