Hi All, I am trying to use log4perl to send alert emails from my script... I'm not being successful. Here is the code I have for setting up an email logger for perl using Log::Dispatch::Email::MailSendmail: 
use Log::Log4perl qw(get_logger :levels);

my $log4perl_conf=<<CFG
log4perl.rootLogger=INFO, Email
log4perl.appender.Email=Log::Dispatch::Email::MailSendmail
log4perl.appender.Email.to=me@company.com
log4perl.appender.Email.from=me@company.com
log4perl.appender.Email.min_level=info
log4perl.appender.Email.layout=Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout
log4perl.appender.Email.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:s
+s} [%F{1}:%c{1}] %5p> %m%n
CFG
;

Log::Log4perl::init(\$log4perl_conf);
my $logger = Log::Log4perl->get_logger();

$logger->info('Something bad is happening');

I'm not getting a delivered email. However, I know the base Mail::SendMail module delivers an email: 
use Mail::Sendmail;

# TLRTSRMG-CapacityPlanning@thomson.com

%mail = ( To      => 'me@company.com',
          From    => 'me@company.com',
          Message => "Sorry, testing this out for emailing -- please i
+gnore",
          Subject => "DELETE ME: Email Testing"
         );

sendmail(%mail) or die $Mail::Sendmail::error;

print "OK. Log says:\n", $Mail::Sendmail::log;

Any ideas how to get the log4perl appender working? Thanks, Matt
