The SmtpPickupDirAppender type exposes the following members.

	Name	Description
	SmtpPickupDirAppender	Default constructor

	Name	Description
	BufferSize	Gets or sets the size of the cyclic buffer used to hold the logging events. (Inherited from BufferingAppenderSkeleton.)
	ErrorHandler	Gets or sets the IErrorHandler for this appender. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	Evaluator	Gets or sets the ITriggeringEventEvaluator that causes the buffer to be sent immediately. (Inherited from BufferingAppenderSkeleton.)
	FileExtension	Gets or sets the file extension for the generated files
	FilterHead	The filter chain. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	Fix	Gets or sets a the fields that will be fixed in the event (Inherited from BufferingAppenderSkeleton.)
	From	Gets or sets the e-mail address of the sender.
	Layout	Gets or sets the ILayout for this appender. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	Lossy	Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the appender is lossy. (Inherited from BufferingAppenderSkeleton.)
	LossyEvaluator	Gets or sets the value of the ITriggeringEventEvaluator to use. (Inherited from BufferingAppenderSkeleton.)
	Name	Gets or sets the name of this appender. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	OnlyFixPartialEventData	Obsolete. Gets or sets a value indicating if only part of the logging event data should be fixed. (Inherited from BufferingAppenderSkeleton.)
	PickupDir	Gets or sets the path to write the messages to.
	RequiresLayout	This appender requires a log4net.Layout to be set. (Overrides AppenderSkeletonRequiresLayout.)
	SecurityContext	Gets or sets the SecurityContext used to write to the pickup directory.
	Subject	Gets or sets the subject line of the e-mail message.
	Threshold	Gets or sets the threshold Level of this appender. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	To	Gets or sets a semicolon-delimited list of recipient e-mail addresses.

	Name	Description
	ActivateOptions	Activate the options on this appender. (Overrides BufferingAppenderSkeletonActivateOptions.)
	AddFilter	Adds a filter to the end of the filter chain. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	Append(LoggingEvent)	Append a bulk array of logging events. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	Append(LoggingEvent)	This method is called by the DoAppend(LoggingEvent) method. (Inherited from BufferingAppenderSkeleton.)
	ClearFilters	Clears the filter list for this appender. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	Close	Closes the appender and release resources. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	ConvertToFullPath	Convert a path into a fully qualified path.
	DoAppend(LoggingEvent)	Performs threshold checks and invokes filters before delegating actual logging to the subclasses specific [M:Append(LoggingEvent)] method. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	DoAppend(LoggingEvent)	Performs threshold checks and invokes filters before delegating actual logging to the subclasses specific [M:Append(LoggingEvent[])] method. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	Equals	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	FilterEvent	Test if the logging event should we output by this appender (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	Finalize	Finalizes this appender by calling the implementation's Close method. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	Flush	Flush the currently buffered events (Inherited from BufferingAppenderSkeleton.)
	Flush(Boolean)	Flush the currently buffered events (Inherited from BufferingAppenderSkeleton.)
	Flush(Int32)	Flushes any buffered log data. (Inherited from BufferingAppenderSkeleton.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	IsAsSevereAsThreshold	Checks if the message level is below this appender's threshold. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	OnClose	Close this appender instance. (Inherited from BufferingAppenderSkeleton.)
	PreAppendCheck	Called before [M:Append(LoggingEvent)] as a precondition. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	RenderLoggingEvent(LoggingEvent)	Renders the LoggingEvent to a string. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	RenderLoggingEvent(TextWriter, LoggingEvent)	Renders the LoggingEvent to a string. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	SendBuffer	Sends the contents of the cyclic buffer as an e-mail message. (Overrides BufferingAppenderSkeletonSendBuffer(LoggingEvent).)
	SendFromBuffer	Sends the contents of the buffer. (Inherited from BufferingAppenderSkeleton.)
	ToString	Returns a String that represents the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)

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.
