[syslog-ng] FreeBSD dist syslog-ng.conf-sample dumps mail.info tomaillog & messages

Len,

Go ahead and send the whole file to the list, or if it's really large post it somewhere and send us the link.

Is it possible that you're still running another syslog daemon and it isn't syslog-ng sending the messages there?

I can't see how this is happening.  I can stop the mail.info to 
maillog, but I can't stop it to messages since I can't find 
any  destination (messages) being fed by mail.info

I found this and commented it out, but no change:

#log { source(src); filter(f_mail); filter(f_crit); destination(messages); };

I'm looking for :

log { source(src); filter(f_mail); filter(f_info); destination(messages); };

or anything similar but can't find it.

It's weird that this is the vanilla syslog-ng.conf-sample with the 
FreeBSD 6 package.

thanks,
Len
