Hi,
I've searched the web and read the manual and some of the code, but feel
free to point me somewhere there's an answer... I can't find much on this.
My SmtpAppender isn't able to connect to the smtpHost. I'm on Windows
using MS framework v1.1. Here's my config file ([EMAIL PROTECTED] is bogus --
I'm
using a real value), test code, and the error I'm getting in the console
window when the log fails to email. The SMTP server, madrid, is an open
relay inside our firewall, which requires no authentication or anything.
I send mail with it from a bunch of other apps.
One thing I did notice, is that apparently there are some other parameters
I could be putting in the config file, but I'm not sure what they should
be (the example config seems to be incomplete). Starting at
SmtpAppender.cs, and looking at its properties, it looks like username,
password etc *could* be put in the config file. I didn't read through
enough of the code to determine what the parameters would be named,
because they wouldn't be necessary for this application, but if someone
points me to how I can find it out (short of stepping through the code)
I'm happy to update the example, or augment it with a more complete
example.
Thanks for any help.
