Larry, I must confess that I started looking into log4j for the first time today, so I am not overly familiar with it. I browsed the classes looking at the Logger, and Appender classes (Layout didn't seem to make sense for this), and didn't see anything that met this need. I'll check out the Filters class and see what it can do. Thanx.

In fact, doesn't the SMTP appender have something like this already? --- regards --- Larry At 11:04 AM 10/15/03, you wrote: >To Log4J Team: > >I would like to recommend an enhancement to the Log4J toolkit.
