Sorry, I searched and searched, now I'm going to ask here...
Is there a way to "bunch" a configured number of log-entries together before
triggering the email to send? I would think this would be a feature someone
asked for a long time ago, instead of receiving 1000's of emails about one
problem, etc?
Also, would it make sense, since this is probably a very low-performing
appender, to put an option to make it ASYNC? I know you can wrap it with an
AsyncAppender, but that requires me to move from my log4j.properties to xml,
and I'm not ready to do all that just yet. Seems like a very common thing
for people to do, so much so, that an option to "wrap itself" in an async
appender would be a good idea?
Thanks,
AJ

Subject: Re: SMTPAppender
Gmail SMTP server requires TLS and it does not use the default port of
25.
According to this link:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=13287
You must use port 456 or 587 for SMTP.
However, port is not an option YET in the latest release. (unless
1.2.16 has been release)
Here is what Curt replied with.
"
log4j.appender.YOURAPPENDERNAME.smtpUsername=USERNAME
log4j.appender.YOURAPPENDERNAME.smtpPassword=PASSWORD
log4j.appender.YOURAPPENDERNAME.smtpPort=PORT
Port is in the current source, but not in the last release. We need
to cut a log4j
1.2.16 soon.

Hi,
I have the following problem using SMTPAppender,
Actually the email does not arrive to the mailbox and I got the
following error:
log4j:ERROR Error occured while sending e-mail notification.
javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host:
smtp.gmail.com, port: 25;
nested exception is:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect
The log4j.properties contains:
log4j.rootCategory=info, dest1, dest3, email
# Email appender
log4j.appender.email=org.apache.log4j.net.SMTPAppender
log4j.appender.email.BufferSize=25
log4j.appender.email.SMTPHost=smtp.gmail.com
log4j.appender.email.SMTPUsername=<valid_username>
log4j.appender.email.SMTPPassword=<valid_password>

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
log4j.appender.email.Subject=Error

log4j.appender.email.layout.ConversionPattern= %d{DATE} %-5p %m -
%c{3} [%t] [%r ms]%n%n
log4j.appender.email.threshold=ERROR
I am using eclipse on my PC for this try.
Please could you help me to find the solution to this nasty problem?
Thanks in advance, below is the complete stack trace
