Update:

The filtering gets logged, but only written to the file when I
terminated the Evo (and its sub processes);

see this: last filtering 16:37:17, last mod of file 19:06 when I've terminated Evo:

$ tail -2 /tmp/evo-filter.log
Applied filter "backupIncoming" to message from Matthias Apitz

Action: Copy to folder email://local local/backupIncoming

$ ls -l /tmp/evo-filter.log 
-rw-r--r--  1 guru  wheel  2304 18 jul 19:06 /tmp/evo-filter.log

a bit problematic when someone is monitoring with 'tail -f' the logfile;
this should be mentioned in the FAQ where the log is explained.
