+# Apache Log4j Simple Mail Transfer Protocol module
+
+As of Log4j 2.11.0, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) support has moved from the existing module logj-core to the new module log4j-smtp.
+
+## Requirements
+
+This module was introduced in Log4j 2.11.0 and requires the jeromq JAR.
+
+Some features may require optional
+[dependencies](../runtime-dependencies.html). These dependencies are specified in the
+documentation for those features.
+
+Some Log4j features require external dependencies.
+See the [Dependency Tree](dependencies.html#Dependency_Tree)
+for the exact list of JAR files needed for these features.
