That's done it. Cheers Mary Jo. Setting an error priority generates the email.
Thinking about it I guess it makes sense not to generate them for lower priorities such as info/debug etc. cos if you could, the potential for generating thousands upon thousands of emails would be very high. Thanks again.

It does not matter that you have log4j.rootCategory=INFO, SMTPTest, info and warn priority constraints will not generate an e-mail. Try generating a fatal or error priority constraint message. > -----Original Message----- > From: Pounder, Anthony [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, April 19, 2002 9:49 AM > To: 'Log4J Users List' > Subject: RE: log4j.properties file > > Pardon me for jumping in but....... > > Hi All > I've been lurking on this mailing list from some time but have just got > around to making use of Log4J.
