Hi I am using the SMTPAppender and I face the following problem. I have written my own TriggeringEvaluator which restricts the number of mail that is sent within a particular period as well as based on the Level(which anyway the default evaluator also does). However I notice a strange problem "The SMTPAppender appends the event irrespective of whether the evaluator conditions are passed or not. So I get mails which has events that should have been filtered through by the evaluator" On closer look at the source code, I find that the event is put into the Cyclic buffer even before the evaluator check is done in the void append() function. SO a scenario like this would be allowed assuming that the Level cut-off is at ERROR Log a INFO message - no mail immediately sent, but put into the buffer Log a ERROR message - mail is sent but the contents of buffer is sent, this means that the old INFO message is tagged along a ERROR message and sent.
My question is : "Should not the message be put into cyclic buffer only if the triggering conditions are met" I will be extremely thankful if someone could help me in this aspect Thanks and regards Guru "THIS E-MAIL MESSAGE ALONG WITH ANY ATTACHMENTS IS INTENDED ONLY FOR THE ADDRESSEE and may contain confidential and privileged information.
