I think you need a semi-colon inside and after the right curly brace ('}') |

You right braces are parentheses and not right curly braces too (maybe a |
| 4 |
cut and paste issue?) |

FWIW, the following is what I use to separate my mail logs out and it works: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
destination messages { file("/var/log/messages"); }; |
| 9 |
destination maillog { file("/var/log/maillog"); }; |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
filter f_mail { facility(mail); }; |
| 12 |
filter f_messages { not facility(mail); }; |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
log { source(src); filter(f_mail); destination(maillog); }; |
| 15 |
log { source(src); filter(f_messages); destination(messages); }; |
