Hey Robert,
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
Running with debug helped me figure it out. It looks like the additivity stuff
was right the way it was, but it turns out when it was parsing the log file it
wasn't even noticing the other loggers. So I looked even closer and noticed
that I was saying "log4" instead of "log4j" just on the lines where I was
defining sender and receiver. I can't believe I didn't see that before posting,
but thank you for helping me find it.
Best,
Nathan Eisenberg

Hi Nathan,
My guess would be that additivity.sender=false should actually be
sender.additivity=false.
As to why the log messages are not going to the second FileAppender, I'm not
sure why that would be happening. I would recommend running with internal
debugging enabled. You can do this by setting log4j.debug=true in your config
file.
