Hi

I am new to log4j and have been trying to get the SMTP email appender to work

I verified wither ethereal that it's not even trying to connect to the email server.

I have tried both the server name and ip address and set the threshold to INFO

The appender configuration:

<!-- EMail events to an administrator --> <appender name="SMTP" class="org.apache.log4j.net.SMTPAppender"> <errorHandler class="org.jboss.logging.util.OnlyOnceErrorHandler"/> <param name="Threshold" value="INFO"/> <param name="To" value="me...@blah.net"/> <param name="From" value="me...@blah.net"/> <param name="Subject" value="JBoss Sever Errors"/> <param name="SMTPHost" value="smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com"/> <param name="BufferSize" value="10"/> <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"> <param name="ConversionPattern" value="[%d{ABSOLUTE},%c{1}] %m%n"/> </layout> </appender>

Root configuration:

<root> <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"/> <appender-ref ref="FILE"/> <appender-ref ref="SMTP"/> </root>

Sorry if this seems trivial

Any help would be appreciated
