Just a little confusion about syslog..

["Marc-Adrian Napoli" <marcadrian@cia.com.au>]

Hi all,

Just learning about syslog.. and pretty much have understood everything bar
one thing.

The priorities of syslog:

emerg
alert
crit
err
warn
notice
info
debug

Now.. when I log mail.err, will this log any mail error files, as well as
the priorities above it? Or below it?

Also.. using ! and =.... how do they fit in exactly?

I'm just not sure about this priorities part, everything else i understand.
(I tried to read the man page but some of the grammar was awful!)

Thanks in advance!
