Hi

I am trying to use the SMTPAppender in JBoss and it is not trivial...

I have changed jboss.conf (in bold)
<MLET CODE = "org.jboss.logging.Log4jService" ARCHIVE="jboss.jar,mail.jar,activation.jar,log4j.jar" CODEBASE="../../lib/ext/">


mail.jar and activation.jar are in lib/ext

and added the following entry in log4j.properties

log4j.appender.SMTP=org.apache.log4j.net.SMTPAppender
log4j.appender.SMTP.To=me@mymail.com
log4j.appender.SMTP.From=BigBug@acme.org

# The following is the most important parameter:
log4j.appender.SMTP.SMTPHost=my smtp server
log4j.appender.SMTP.Subject=Waaaaaah!
log4j.appender.SMTP.layout=org.apache.log4j.SimpleLayout
log4j.category.org=DEBUG, SMTP
log4j.debug=true

Unfortunately, as soon as Log4J tries to send an email, I get the following error:

Could anyone help me?
What have I done wrong?

Thank you!
Benoit
