Is there a tutorial or a guide or something for configuring syslog-ng,
preferrably with examples? I want to alter my default syslog-ng.conf to
filter mail logs to another file, but the man page doesn't make much
sense to me, and I couldn't find anything online that had examples to
show what exactly I needed to do...

That should filter your mail logs. It's taken from the Gentoo Security
Handbook:

Google throws up this on first place:
http://www.campin.net/syslog-ng/faq.html
This should do it ...
