Hi Tony,

Setup it this way,

mail.warn;mail.notice;mail.err;mail.crit;mail.emerg;mail.debug  /usr/adm/mail.lo
*.=info;*.=notice                               /usr/adm/messages
*.=debug                                        /usr/adm/debug
*.warn                                          /usr/adm/syslog

dont forget to give SIGHUP i.e,

kill -HUP `cat syslog.pid`

Goodluck

Ravi
