Hi, All!

I've been googling this for 2 days now and can't find an answer. What I want to do is have jboss email me error and fatal log messages. The message is logging to the console and the log file, but I am not recieving any email. Nor can I find a log4j stacktrace that I would expect if there's an error in log4j when it tries to email me.  Here's what I did:

Edited the jboss-4.2.3.GA\server\default\conf\jboss-log4j.xml

Uncommented and modified the following pieces:

[code]

<!-- EMail events to an administrator  -->

   <appender name="SMTP" class="org.apache.log4j.net.SMTPAppender">

     <errorHandler class="org.jboss.logging.util.OnlyOnceErrorHandler"/>

     <param name="Threshold" value="ERROR"/>

     <param name="To" value="myEmail@domain.com"/>

     <param name="From" value="theEmailFrom@gmail.com"/>

     <param name="Subject" value="JBoss Sever Errors"/>

     <param name="SMTPHost" value="smtp.gmail.com"/>

<param name="SMTPUsername" value="theEmailFrom@gmail.com" />

<param name="SMTPPassword" value="theGmailPassword" />

     <param name="BufferSize" value="10"/>

     <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">

       <param name="ConversionPattern" value="[%d{ABSOLUTE},%c{1}] %m%n"/>

     </layout>

<filter class="org.apache.log4j.varia.LevelRangeFilter">

<param name="LevelMin" value="ERROR"/>

<param name="LevelMax" value="FATAL"/>

     </filter>

   </appender>

...

   <root>

      <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"/>

      <appender-ref ref="FILE"/>

  <appender-ref ref="SMTP"/>

   </root>

[/code]

java code in my webapp:

[code]

org.jboss.logging.Logger jbossLogger = org.jboss.logging.Logger.getLogger(this.getClass());

jbossLogger.fatal(myMessage.toString());

[/code]

my version of jboss is jboss-4.2.3.GA (I know it's old, but we can't upgrade right now)

java: jdk1.6.0_26

OS: Windows XP Professional

Also, I did check the spam folder of the email I'm tryong to send the message to, nothing there either.

Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? Also is there a special place to look for the log4j error messages or is it just console and server.log?

Thank you so much!
