SMTPAppender ignoring Threshold

Even after setting the Threshold to WARN (see below), I still get only 
ERROR messages; any idea what I'm doing wrong?

After some more research, I realize that I misunderstood the Threshold 
parameter: I thought that setting BufferSize to 1 and Threshold to WARN 
would send me any such messages as soon as it is logged; in fact the 
threshold for triggering messages remains unchanged at ERROR unless you 
implement your own TriggeringEventEvaluator. The Threshold parameter merely 
specifies what messages will be included in the email (so this parameter is 
mainly of interest if you set BufferSize to a value greater than 1).

Eric;

This happened to me once before, A co-worker inadvertently changed the
level in his code. You may want to search for something similar.
