-----------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 1.2.15)
> Slow email servers can cause SmtpAppender to slow down any system using it
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LOG4NET-516
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-516
> Project: Log4net
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Appenders
> Affects Versions: 1.2.15
> Environment: Windows 7 & 10
> Reporter: john weidman
> Labels: easyfix, features, performance
>
> When using log4net with an SmtpAppender if the email server that the messages
> are going to is under an excessive load and the messages back up all of the
> Log4Net logging slows down and makes the system unusable.
> It seems like exposing the timeout value on the SmtpClient as a configurable
> option would allow code to continue, even if it does drop an email request.
> Otherwise the logging system can bring the system to a standstill. The
> default Timeout for SmtpClient is 100 sec.
