This is an extended SmtpAppender that has its threshold property set to Error
and should only ever process one message.
// untested
public class SendOnceErrorSmtpAppender : SmtpAppender
{
private bool sendOnce = true;
public override void ActivateOptions()
{
Threshold =
LogManager.GetRepository().LevelMap.LookupWithDefault(Level.Error);
}
protected override bool PreAppendCheck()
{
if (sendOnce && base.PreAppendCheck())
{
sendOnce = false;
}
return sendOnce;
}
}

So there's no way to do this with SMTPAppender itself?
Then I'll rather use a FileAppender and send the error log using a
second program.
