RE: Single App needs two appenders with two sets of rights question

[Nicko Cadell]

Appenders support Threshold levels, that is the minimum level that an
event must have to be logged. This is equivalent to a LevelRangeFilter
but less typing!

<appender name="email" type="log4net.Appender.SmtpAppender,log4net">
        <threshold value="ERROR" />

        ...
</appender>
