I'm trying to use SMTPAppender to send a log message through gmail. I have added javax.mail:mailapi:1.4.3 as a depdendency. I also tried adding javax.activation:activation:1.1.1 with no success. If I change the host to xyz, it has no affect. This is my configuration file:

<configuration debug="true">
    <appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
        <encoder>
            <pattern>
                %-4relative [out] %-5level %logger - %msg%n
            </pattern>
        </encoder>
    </appender>

    <appender name="EMAIL" class="ch.qos.logback.classic.net.SMTPAppender">
        <smtpHost>smtp.gmail.com</smtpHost>
        <smtpPort>465</smtpPort>
        <SSL>true</SSL>
        <username>somebody@gmail.com</username>
        <password>somepass</password>
        <to>someone@gmail.com</to>
        <from>somebody@gmail.com</from>
        <subject>Testing %logger{20} - %m</subject>

        <layout class="ch.qos.logback.classic.PatternLayout">
            <pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%thread] %-5level %logger{1} - %msg%n</pattern>
        </layout>
    </appender>

    <root level="info">
        <appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
        <appender-ref ref="EMAIL" />
    </root>
</configuration>
