SmtpPickupDirAppender (Untriggered emails)

["Redkar, Tejaswi" <TR...@ViewCentral.com>]

Hello!

I am using SmtpPickupDirAppender in production environment. I have set the
threshold level to "ERROR". I sometimes get the logs email for no apparent
reason, i.e. even if there is no error in the system. Why is that?

Below is the configuration

<configuration>

<!-- Register a section handler for the log4net section --> <configSections>

<section name="log4net" type="System.Configuration.IgnoreSectionHandler"

/>

</configSections>

<!-- This section contains the log4net configuration settings --> <log4net>

<!-- Define some output appenders -->

<appender name="RollingLogFileAppender"

type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
