Re: [log4perl-devel] Don't know how to use the Log::Dispatch::Email::MailSend appender: help needed

[Kevin G. <ke...@go...>]

Jose, this works for me, I get an email just fine, note that mail.server 
should be your outgoing smtp server, right?

---------------------------------------------
use Log::Log4perl;

Log::Log4perl->init(\'
log4perl.logger.Veronicad=DEBUG, screen, mail
log4perl.appender.screen=Log::Dispatch::Screen
log4perl.appender.screen.stderr=0
log4perl.appender.screen.layout=Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout
log4perl.appender.screen.layout.ConversionPattern=%d %p> %F{1}:%L %M - %m%n
log4perl.appender.mail=Log::Dispatch::Email::MailSend
log4perl.appender.mail.name=Veronicad
log4perl.appender.mail.subject=Veronicad event
log4perl.appender.mail.to=yo...@yo...  ***
log4perl.appender.mail.from=yo...@yo...  ***
log4perl.appender.mail.buffered=0
log4perl.appender.mail.server=mail.yourdomain.com ***
log4perl.appender.mail.layout=Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout
log4perl.appender.mail.layout.ConversionPattern=%d %p> %F{1}:%L %M - %m%n
');
my $logger = Log::Log4perl::get_logger("Veronicad");

$logger->error("Testing errors");
