Problem using SMTPAppender

Hi, 
  I found this problem while using logger.error in exception block
 
JBoss 3.2.0 
RedHat 8.0 / 9.0 
Using log4j that is shipped with JBoss 

I was using logger.error (that logs to a file and should send an email)
on exceptions. 

The machine did NOT have connectivity to our mail server. What was
happening is the JBoss server used to hang for 3 minutes and 10 seconds
every time the exception occurred. All clients had to wait till this
time out expired. 

The problem was resolved the moment I was able to connect to mail server
from that machine. 

Any ideas on how to solve this problem ?

Thanks 
Mandar
