             Summary: SMTPAppender: send multiple events in one mail
                 Key: LOG4J2-252
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-252
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Wish
            Reporter: Matej Vitásek


I am using Log4j 2 for a Tomcat web application to send me an e-mail whenever 
an {{ERROR}} occurs. Usually, more than one error is produced at one time, and 
I get a lot of e-mails over a period of a few seconds.

It would be great if the {{SMTPAppender}} could cluster more events into one 
mail. Of course, one has to be sure that Log4j 2 is not waiting too long to 
send me the errors, which could be solved by a timeout setting.

So I propose the following: add a new {{timeout}} setting to the 
{{SMTPAppender}}. Whenever an event that would trigger sending a mail occurs, 
wait for {{timeout}} seconds and bundle whatever else events occur into this 
mail. Only then send the mail.
