The built-in SmtpAppender does not support parameterise the subject line. There is an example appender in the 1.2.9 release that does: SimpleSmtpAppender. You can find the source for it at
log4net-1_2_9\examples\net\1.0\Appenders\SampleAppendersApp\cs\src\Appen der This appender does not buffer events before sending them as the SmtpAppender does. SimpleSmtpAppender just sends each event in a separate email, but it does allow the subject to be generated by a PatternLayout. To use this appender you will need to compile the SimpleSmtpAppender class yourself either in a separate dll or as part of your application.
