Maybe I am missing something obvious, but how do I send SMTP mail via Log4Perl?
I use this configuration

log4perl.category = FATAL, Mailer
log4perl.appender.Mailer = Log::Dispatch::Email::MailSend
log4perl.appender.Mailer.to = x@z.com
log4perl.appender.Mailer.from = y@z.com
log4perl.appender.Mailer.subject = Something's broken!
log4perl.appender.Mailer.layout = SimpleLayout
log4perl.appender.Mailer.Server = x.x.x.x
log4perl.appender.Mailer.smtp = 1

I have tested that Mail::Mailer works, but I do not get it to work with the standard appender. The constructor for Mailer needs to be in the following format: $mailer = Mail::Mailer->new('smtp', Server => $server);
