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

[Ron Grabowski]

You could put a filter on the email appender:

http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/manual/configuration.html#filters

<appender name="email" type="log4net.Appender.SmtpAppender">
 <filter type="log4net.Filter.LevelRangeFilter">
  <levelMin value="ERROR" />
  <levelMax value="FATAL" />
 </filter>
 ...
</appender>
