Re[2]: unknown problem with SMTPAppender

[Christian Hufgard <ch...@gmx.de>]

Hi Ionel,

maybe you could post your hole config-file... You could also add
another appender to the class to want to send mails and watch if
something is loggeg there.
I configured the SMTPAppendern today, and had the problem that all
other appenders except this one worked. My mistake was, that I had a
log4j.ar within my WEB-INF/lib and _two_ different versions in
shared/lib. After removing them, everything worked fine.
