Anthony Baldocchi commented on LOG4J2-252:
------------------------------------------
This could be useful for networked appenders other than SMTPAppender (such as
HTTPAppender). I'm imagining a scenario where multiple events are batched,
perhaps converted to a complete JSON layout, and then POSTed to a target server.
> SMTPAppender: send multiple events in one mail
> ----------------------------------------------

> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Wish
> Reporter: Matej Vitásek

> I am using Log4j 2 for a Tomcat web application to send me an e-mail whenever
> an ERROR occurs. Usually, more than one error is produced at one time, and I
> get a lot of e-mails over a period of a few seconds.
> It would be great if the SMTPAppender could cluster more events into one
> mail. Of course, one has to be sure that Log4j 2 is not waiting too long to
> send me the errors, which could be solved by a timeout setting.
> So I propose the following: add a new timeout setting to the SMTPAppender.
> Whenever an event that would trigger sending a mail occurs, wait for timeout
> seconds and bundle whatever else events occur into this mail. Only then send
> the mail.
