I don't know why it would work with 1 but not with 512. At least we
know the SmtpAppender is working correctly. Is there a message body
size limit imposed by your server? Why not run more tests to get a
better idea of what the bufferSize fails on:
1: works
10: ???
50: ???
200: ???
350: ???
512: doesn't work
If the bufferSize fails to delivery 350 messages I would output 350
message to a text file then read those messages in and try manually
sending the mail:
using System.Web.Mail;
MailMessage mailMessage = new MailMessage();
mailMessage.To = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
mailMessage.From = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
mailMessage.Subject = "Subject";
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader("350_log_messages.txt"))
{
mailMessage.Body = sr.ReadToEnd();
}
SmtpServer.Send(mailMessage);
If that works and 512_log_messages.txt works I'm afraid I've run out of
ideas :(
Another non-related comment...It would be interesting if someone wrote
a SmtpAppender that would send the logging events as an attachment:
<appender name="AttachmentSmtpAppender" type="...">
<to value="..." />
<from value="..." />
<subject value="..." />
<body value="See attached file(s) for logs" />
<smtpHost value="..." />
<bufferSize value="512" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.SimpleLayout" />
<attachedFile value="DEBUG.txt">
<filter type="log4net.Filter.LevelMatchFilter">
<levelToMatch value="DEBUG" />
</filter>
</attachedFile>
<attachedFile value="INFO.txt">
<filter type="log4net.Filter.LevelMatchFilter">
<levelToMatch value="INFO" />
</filter>
</attachedFile>
</appender>
That would send a single message with a user supplied body that would
contain two attachments: DEBUG.txt containing only DEBUG messages and
INFO.txt containing only INFO messages.
