It depends on an implicit order of operations. Usually "not" has higher precedence than "and" and "or", but personally I wouldn't count on it unless the documentation says so (or you've tried it). It's like when you see a+b/c*d. Some people use PEMDAS, some people use BEDMAS. Neither of them work, and they give different answers. It's no wonder nobody understands this stuff. In any case, post your whole syslog-ng.conf file. Some later directive could be shoveling things into /var/log/messages.
