Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-131:
------------------------------------

I've spent a couple of hours reviewing the patch and am not going to be able to 
commit it as is for the following reasons:
1. The patch seems to require the changes from LOG4j2-136 to cleanly apply. I 
haven't reviewed that yet.
2. For some reason you have published the javamail jars to every subproject as 
an optional dependency. I'm not sure why that is needed.
3. Using a manager allows multiple appender instances to share resources so 
that they all behave as if they were a single appender.  SMTPSessionManager 
doesn't do that. In fact, it is only used in a local variable in the factory 
method.  I would expect that the CyclicBuffer as well as all the actual work to 
send the email would be in the Manager.

I plan to refactor your patch to address all of the above.
