Hi,
I have a properties file set up to email me errors. I see errors in my web
application log file, but apparently log4j cannot successfully email them to
me. Then I see the exception below in my tomcat server log file.
I am able to send emails from this web application, just not when via log4j
errors.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks.
Here is the exception on my tomcat server log file:
log4j:ERROR Error occured while sending e-mail notification.
javax.mail.MessagingException: Can't send command to SMTP host;
nested exception is:
