# #####################
# Rules are evaluated in the defined order.
# This means that the same message can end up in several destinations.
# 
# A pattern consists of one or more filters, separated by ';'.
# A filter consists of one or more facilities, a dot ('.'), and one or more levels.
# A facility is kern/user/mail/daemon/auth/syslog/lpr/news/uucp/cron/authpriv/ftp or local0..local7;
#   multiple facilities are separated by ','.
# 
# A level is none/emerg/alert/crit/err/warn/notice/info/debug; multiple levels are separated by ','.
#   A single level matches all levels that are more important than itself and itself (crit matches crit, alert and emerg).
#   A single level prefixed by '=' matches only that level ('=crit' matches only crit).
#
# The evaluation order inside a pattern is left-to-right; as soon as a filter matches, the pattern matches.
#
# If a rule has the stop property set to 'true', then evaluation stops if the pattern matched.
