Public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are safe for multithreaded operations. Instance members are not guaranteed to be thread-safe.
You can send messages only to names that are active on the network. If you send the message to a user name, that user must be logged on and running the Messenger service to receive the message.
The receiver will get a top most window displaying the messages one at a time, therefore this appender should not be used to deliver a high volume of messages.
The following table lists some possible uses for this appender :
| Action | Property Value(s) |

| Send a message to a user account on a remote machine |
Server = <name of the remote machine> Recipient = <user name> |
| Send a message to a domain user account |
