I just read snort manual and it give description about post-detection rule
options that "These options are rule spesific triggers that happen after a
rule has "fired""
What is it the meaning?
"Fired" means the rule "matches".  More specifically that statement 
means that the rule body options (payload and non-payload) and the rule 
header checks (nets and ports) all match and an alert would be raised.  
Most of the post-detection options are really rule actions or logging 
features.  detection_filter is a little different though as it is 
actually the final match criteria that determines whether a rule will 
fire.  If it does fire it is appropriate to evaluate the other 
post-detection options.  You wouldn't want to do something like replace 
a content if the rule doesn't actually fire.
