I have removed from WEB-INF/lib the mail.jar, you're right it was already in CATALINA_HOME\common\lib but this modification has no effect. Log4j is configured using a properties file pass to the PropertyConfigurator.configure(.) method. The file is located in the Tomcat CATALINA_HOME\conf folder and all the different logger give me an output except the mail logger. The additivity of the mail logger is true so I have the message on the console but no mail under TomCat.
