I'm going to ask another pretty stupid question.
should I create my own category as you said or should I just add them to the root category like the following:
<root>
<appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"/>
<appender-ref ref="FILE"/>
<appender-ref ref="ASYNC"/>
<appender-ref ref="SMTP"/>
</root>Is there any advantage to defining your own category?
thanks again, Brian

Just to make sure I have the right idea, does this mean that every time i do a call such as
catch(SomeException se){
log.error("my error message", se)
}
Then this should cause an email to be sent. Is this correct?
yes: if the appender configuration is correct.
<appender name="SMTP" class="org.apache.log4j.net.SMTPAppender">
<errorHandler class="org.jboss.logging.util.OnlyOnceErrorHandler"/>
<param name="Threshold" value="ERROR"/>
<param name="To" value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"/>
<param name="From" value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"/>
<param name="Subject" value="JBoss Sever Errors"/>
<param name="SMTPHost" value="mysmtpserver.com"/>
<param name="BufferSize" value="10"/>
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="[%d{ABSOLUTE},%c{1}] %m%n"/>
</layout>
</appender>
Did you define a <Category> for it?
<category name="your.package.name"> <priority value="ERROR" /> <appender-ref ref="SMTP" /> </category>
This is the reference to your SMTP-Appender.
