Hi
I'm trying out Log4j 2 (2.0-beta7) in a project. I.e. in my code I use SLF4J,
include Log4j 2 jars at runtime and assure by the use of Log4j 2
ConsoleAppender that my logging events indeed reach Log4j.
Now I would like to extend my logging output by adding an SMTPAppender that
will forward to an SMTP server that uses SSL and MD5 challenge-response
authentication. So far I have included javamail 1.4.7 jar into classpath at
runtime. By this there is no error during execution of my application. Thus I
use these as possible values of property smtpPort below. I have also added the
SMTP appender to my root logger
I have scanned the ports on the server and checked that both 465 and 587 are
open. (Also I successfully send email via this server using the same
credentials in Mac OS X Mail client.)
Key parts of my configuration XML (in strict flavor) goes like this:
<appender type="SMTP" name="Mail" suppressExceptions="false"
subject="Error log" to="${toAddress}" from="${fromAddress}"
smtpHost="${smtpHost}" smtpPort="${smtpPort}" smtpProtocol="smtps"
smtpUsername="${smtpUsername}" smtpPassword="${smtpPassword}"
smtpDebug="true" bufferSize="1">
…
<loggers>
<root level="info">
<appender-ref ref="Console" />
<appender-ref ref="Mail" />
</root>
</loggers>
However, as you probably guess by the nature of this email, I receive no email.
Anyone with a few hints up there sleves? Any other dependency or version
conflict to be aware of? Missing config options?
