SmtpPickupDirAppender Class

Apache log4net™ SDK Documentation

Send an email when a specific logging event occurs, typically on errors or fatal errors. Rather than sending via smtp it writes a file into the directory specified by PickupDir. This allows services such as the IIS SMTP agent to manage sending the messages.

Remarks

The configuration for this appender is identical to that of the SMTPAppender, except that instead of specifying the SMTPAppender.SMTPHost you specify PickupDir.

The number of logging events delivered in this e-mail depend on the value of BufferSize option. The SmtpPickupDirAppender keeps only the last BufferSize logging events in its cyclic buffer. This keeps memory requirements at a reasonable level while still delivering useful application context.
