[syslog-ng] problem to log fetcmail logs

Hello,

I'd like to use syslog-ng to log fetchmail logs.

For the moment, fetcmail logs are in /var/log/fetchmail.log and I'd like
to put it in /var/log/$YEAR:$MONTH$DAY, to have a separate log file for
each day.

I try to add that:

source fetchmail { file("/var/log/fetchmail.log"); };

destination df_fetchmail {
file("/var/log/$YEAR/$MONTH/$DAY/fetchmail.log"); };

log {
        source(fetchmail);
	filter(f_fetchmail);
        destination(df_fetchmail);
};


But it dosn't works.

Do you have an idea?

Thanks :-)

Bye
