I need to modify a couple of things in the configuration of rsyslogd thus this gets me to this file: /etc/rsyslogd.conf. I want to make rule, more precisely a filter condition. I want to select all mesages of facility mail with the priority at least notice, but not err and save them in a different file.

Therefore, it would go something like this:

mail.notice /var/log/myfile.log
mail.warning /var/log/myfile.log
mail.crit /var/log/myfile.log
# and so on

My question is: Is there a easier way to filter those out, than typing each one? The only documentation I found about this topic is here. I didn't really get from that doc if you can do what I am asking or not, so I thought it would be a great question for stack :D.

Also: I want to filter all messages of priority crit but not facility mail and news. Same question as above.

The way I do it there in the code example is wrong. A very good explanatory example can fe found here.
