Great, So implementing TriggeringEventEvaluator gives me the control to trigger an
email when I want..but how would I configure, to make sure the trace of the exception
is in the body of the email?
Thanks

Yes this is possible. You can set via configuration properties/xml on the
SMTPAppender the setEvaluatorClass property (so make sure you set the
"EvaluatorClass" property in the configuration), which takes a string of the
fully qualified name of a class that must implement the
org.apache.log4j.spi.TriggeringEventEvaluator interface. You can then code
in your own class what will trigger the sending of the email.
By default, the SMTPAppender installs a default TriggeringEventEvaluator
implementation that triggers on ERROR events, but you can do whatever you
like using your own impl of the interface.
Hope that helps.
