I have always used a valid "from" field, even the log4j book I have is silent as to if the "from" address needs to be valid.
You don't have to add the extra category - what you did earlier for root should be fine.
The one thing I don't see for the SMTPAppender is authentication handling. I know that my ISP requires an account and a password to send email. But I cannot recall how I handled this when I set up the SMTPAppender before (and of course I no longer have that configuration).
OK, I looked up the javadoc for SMTPAppender (http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/apidocs/org/apache/log4j/net/SMTPAppender.html), there is a SMTPUsername and SMTPPassword parameter, which you can set using:
<appender ...>
| ...
| <param name="SMTPUsername" value="xxx"/>
| <param name="SMTPPassword" value="xxx"/>
| </appender>
The stupid book I have doesn't event mention these parameters, nor a few others that are available on SMTPAppender.
