I'm not sure if any of the people who have tried this have succeeded.
I think you will not be able to get the javamail classes into the
log4j classloader.
You might have better luck trying to add the smtp appender in code
from a geronimo configuration that does include the javamail
classes. You might be able to use hidden-classes to exclude the
original log4j smtp appender class and reload it in your
configuration, thus letting it be created without a NCDFE. I'm not
sure how you would arrange the configuration for this appender: IIRC
there is some kind of programmatic interface you can use.

I have tried to add the javamail.jar to the j2ee-system/Meta-Inf/
Manifest.MF file. But still to no luck. I have also put the
javamail.jar into the repository and that still does nothing.
Please any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you,
Nathan
