[ http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCLASSIC-323?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.syste... ] Patrick Houk commented on LBCLASSIC-323: ---------------------------------------- I also experienced lost emails after upgrading from 0.9.30 to 1.0.0, but I think the reason is different (I use Java 6). I think the problem in my case is that SMTPAppender was changed in 1.0 to send emails asynchronously. I often use SMTPAppender to send alert emails when there is a fatal error, and then exit the application. My theory is that the sending thread simply doesn't have time to process the message before the process dies. Perhaps a configuration option can be added to specify synchronous sending?
SMTPAppender does not send messages -----------------------------------
Key: LBCLASSIC-323 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCLASSIC-323 Project: logback-classic Issue Type: Bug Components: appender Affects Versions: 1.0.0 Environment: JDK 1.5 FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE #0: Tue Apr 15 17:37:45 CEST 2008 amd64 Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build diablo-1.5.0-b01) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build diablo-1.5.0_07-b01, mixed mode) Reporter: Lutz Huehnken Assignee: Ceki Gulcu Fix For: 1.0.3

After upgrading from 0.9.30 to 1.0.0, the ch.qos.logback.classic.net.SMTPAppender seizes to work. It just does not send any messages anymore. This behaviour has apparently been observed by others as well and is also described in this thread: http://old.nabble.com/SMTPAppender-mail-not-sent-%28logback-1.0.0%2C-JDK-1.5... It resumes working when - while making no other changes - logback is downgraded to version 0.9.30
