syslogd

So I'm following this tutorial: http://www.howtoforge.com/using-fail2ban-to-block-wrong-ispconfig-logins and the problem I have is that rsyslog won't redirect the output from a file to another

/etc/rsyslog.d/12-ispconfig.conf:

if $programname == 'ispconfig' then /var/log/ispconfig.log #the file exists

But I keep getting the output to syslog:

ispconfig[1117]: Login failed for user asdasd on IP XX.XX.XXX.XX

Any ideas how to fix this?
