If you want to receive an email every time an error occurs, i recommend to use the smtp appender of log4j:
<appender name="mail" class="org.apache.log4j.net.SMTPAppender"> <param name="SMTPHost" value="smtp.yourhost.com" /> <param name="From" value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" /> <param name="To" value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" /> <param name="Subject" value="[Your App] Exception" /> <param name="BufferSize" value="0" /> <param name="threshold" value="WARN" /> <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"> <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{ABSOLUTE} %5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n" /> </layout> </appender> Bye, Peter 2008/1/11, Ding, Qin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Mike: thank you.
