Q: How can I filter messages so that only not-already-routed lines will
be routed/filtered again?

A: This is a catchall statement, and should catch all messages which
were not accepted any of the previous statements.

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

Look at the "final" log flag to stop at that point/line and not log the
message again.
