Specifically: {code:java} <appender name="EMAIL" class="ch.qos.logback.classic.net.SMTPAppender"> <username></username> </appender>{code} We use variable substitution, so it would actually be {code:java} <appender name="EMAIL" class="ch.qos.logback.classic.net.SMTPAppender"> <username>${SMTP_USERNAME}</username> </appender>{code} And sometimes we don't actually want to authenticate. It would be nice if empty usernames were handled the same as if it were never specified. ============================== This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.8.0#808000-sha1:e2c7e59) _______________________________________________ logback-dev mailing list logback-dev@qos.ch http://mailman.qos.ch/mailman/listinfo/logback-dev
