SMTPAppender and dynamically generated options

[Robert Schmid]

I was trying to use the SMTPAppender with dynamically generated 
recipient addresses.  It proved to be more difficult than I had hoped. I 
ended up extending the class so that I set the recipient address on the fly.

I could easily chage the SMTPAppender code to allow on-the-fly changes 
to all the fields but before I do this I wanted to know if there were 
architectural reasons NOT to do this.

I would add an attribute called 'allowDynamicEmail'  or somesuch which, 
if set to true would recheck System.getProperty(key) for each element 
and reset the message headers before sending.

I could then send someone the code for review and let you commit it. 
(Due to security restrictions I can't access the log4j cvs repository 
from work so I wouldn't be able to check it in myself.)

Let me know what you think.
