However I think I understand what I need to do. I currently have a function to set up my logging:- def initLog(name): log = logging.getLogger(name) log.setLevel(logging.DEBUG) f = logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler("/home/chris/tmp/mail.log", 'a', 1000000, 4) f.setLevel(logging.DEBUG) formatter = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s') f.setFormatter(formatter) log.addHandler(f) return log As I understand it I just add another line like the 'f =' line but using the SMTPHandler and then set an appropriate level for that handler (and formatting). -- Chris Green -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
