Dominik Psenner commented on LOG4NET-402:
-----------------------------------------
I've taken a closer look to your configuration and noticed that you have
misspelled
"[Lossy|https://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/sdk/log4net.Appender.BufferingAppenderSkeleton.Lossy.html]";
and written it as "Loosy". Thus your appender is not configured as Lossy. So
that's the reason why it keeps sending emails.
To answer your question I'm quoting the [SDK
reference|http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/sdk/log4net.Appender.BufferingAppenderSkeleton.Flush_overload_1.html]:
{quote}If the appender is buffering in Lossy mode then the contents of the
buffer will NOT be flushed to the appender.{quote}
Thus in Lossy mode the above will not cause emails to be sent, but when not
configured to be Lossy it will flush the buffer and thus send emails. Maybe you
are interested in [this
overload|http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/sdk/log4net.Appender.BufferingAppenderSkeleton.Flush_overload_2.html].
