You'r right, finalize is not guaranteed to be called, because the jvm may
terminate (normally) without calling the garbage collector, so my idea of
calling "sendBuffer()" in finalize() does not work.
What worked, was adding a (Runtime) ShutdownHook in the constructor of a
subclassed SMTPAppender, but I'm unsure if that should be build in in the
SMTPAppender itself.
