SMTPAppender with VisualAge for Java

[Ma...@americancentury.com]

I am wondering if anyone has configured an SMTPAppender using IBM's
VisualAge for Java IDE.  If you have, could you provide some tips on how
you did it?

We are using VAJ 4.0 and Log4J 1.2.3.  We are also using a modified version
of the "IBM XML Parser for Java" project which does not include the
org.w3c.dom, org.xml.sax, or org.xml.sax.helpers packages.  We did this so
we could use Xerces 2.1.0 instead of the outdated XML packages included
with VAJ.

Below is the output I am getting when I run my SMTPAppenderTester program.
Maybe this will help you understand the problem I am having.
