Okay, I've gotten this working. I should note that the hostname System property must be fed as a JVM argument (the blog post uses -Dhostname=`uname -n`). I've noticed an odd issue with parentheses, though. Including a closing paren (matched or not) truncates the rest of the format and pulls up the next line in the message. So this format: [CFG_SERVER] =${hostname}= ) %logger{20} - %m %nopex Gives the email subject: [CFG_SERVER] =dv1035c= java.io.FileNotFoundException: /tmp/cfg_server.data (Permission denied) at java.io.RandomAccessFile.open(Native Method) <snipped remainder of stack> Removing the closing paren: [CFG_SERVER] =${hostname}= %logger{20} - %m %nopex Produces the expected output: [CFG_SERVER] =dv1035c= n.s.e.s.DiskStore - cfg_serverCache: Could not create disk store. Initial cause was /tmp/cfg_server.data (Permission denied) What would cause this behavior?

Hi, there.
Is there a way to get the reporting machine's hostname into the subject of the SMTPAppender's email address? According to a blog post, (http://blog.spiralarm.com/richard/2007/10/watching-production-logs.html) you can do something like this for log4j:
<param name="Subject" value="[SMTPAppender] ${user.name}@${hostname} error message" />
Is there a Logback equivalent?
Thanks,
-Chris
