Woops :-)... I configured an SMTPAppender I enabled SMTPDebug and from the logs I always see that an attempt to create connection via localhost, 25 isSSL false occurs. No need to mention that I am using a SMTPHost attribute which is not localhost... I dont find where this behavior can be changed. Here is my appender: | <appender name="EMAIL" class="org.apache.log4j.net.SMTPAppender"> | <param name="SMTPHost" value="smtp.gmail.com" /> | <param name="From" value=&quot;fromUser(a)gmail.com&quot; /> | <param name="To" value=&quot;toUser(a)gmail.com&quot; /> | <param name="SMTPDebug" value="true" /> | <param name="SMTPUsername" value="username" /> | <param name="SMTPPassword" value="password" /> | <param name="Subject" value="webapp error" /> | <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"> | <param name="ConversionPattern" value="[%d]%n%n%-5p%n%n%c%n%n%m%n%n" /> | </layout> | <filter class="org.apache.log4j.varia.LevelRangeFilter"> | <param name="LevelMin" value="ERROR"/> | <param name="LevelMax" value="FATAL"/> | </filter> | </appender> | Thanks, Rod View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4255512#...
