Thanks for the info. For now I am using the "ERROR" level and logging this as error (which I know is NOT an error).

For some reason the author of the SMTPAppender seems to have decided that rather than using the Threshold setting they would develop their own mechanism for filtering messages, which while might be more powerful, is also outside the norm of expected use. Anyhow enough with the editorial and on to the details. You need to to create your own class that extends the TriggerEventEvaluator. This class will serve as the message filter. It can then be set in your config file by specifying the class name in a param called EvaluatorClass.
