They are diferent things. The filter will determine wich logging events will be logged. The triggering evaluator will decide when is time to send a mail. This doesn't mean that the logging event will be logged or not. For example if the triggering event evaluator returns false this means that the appender will not send a email but the logging event is still stored in a internal buffer and will be sent later when another event returns true for the triggering event evaluator.
