------------------------------------
Summary: Slow email servers can cause SmtpAppender to slow down
any system using it
Key: LOG4NET-516
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-516
Project: Log4net
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Appenders
Affects Versions: 1.2.15
Environment: Windows 7 & 10
Reporter: john weidman
Fix For: 1.2.15
When using log4net with an SmtpAppender if the email server that the messages
are going to is under an excessive load and the messages back up all of the
Log4Net logging slows down and makes the system unusable.
It seems like exposing the timeout value on the SmtpClient as a configurable
option would allow code to continue, even if it does drop an email request.
Otherwise the logging system can bring the system to a standstill. The default
Timeout for SmtpClient is 100 sec.
