Re: Log4Perl to send mail via SMTP

Hi,

Got it to work this way:

log4perl.rootLogger               = ERROR, Email
log4perl.appender.Email           = Log::Dispatch::Email::MailSender
log4perl.appender.Email.name      = email
log4perl.appender.Email.min_level = error
log4perl.appender.Email.to        = x@z.com
log4perl.appender.Email.from      = y@z.com
log4perl.appender.Email.subject   = Something's broken!
log4perl.appender.Email.smtp      = smtp.z.com
log4perl.appender.Email.layout    = SimpleLayout

This worked for me too after lots of hair pulling. Note the difference between: Log::Dispatch::Email::MailSender in the working example, and: Log::Dispatch::Email::MailSend in the original, which I also had from somewhere on the web, but was unable to get to work with SMTP, although it does not error, it just writes to mailer.testfile instead. Also that: log4perl.appender.Email.smtp = smtp.z.com is the correct way to specify the server, at least this works for me.	[reply]

I see - you are using the smtp server adress as a parameter - I will try this, but it did not work for me before when I added some prints into Mail::Mailer. I have written my own appender now - it is the easier solution for me.	[reply]
