syslog does not use doors to log messages; it uses the door to find out whether syslog is still up and running. It logs the messages in some stream device. (/dev/sysmsg or some such). Clearly syslog-ng needs to be able to pick up such messages *and* create a door where it can say "yes, I'm still running".
