SMTPAppender not asynchronous using AsyncAppender

[Amit Shinde]

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to send asynchronous error emails using log4j. I was  
successfully able to get the emails but it looks like the emails are  
synchronous and block the event processing till the email is sent.  
This happens inspite of using AsyncAppender.

I am using SMTPAppender and hooked it up with AsyncAppender  
(<appender-ref ref="mail"/>)

Did anyone else notice this? Can we send emails asynchronously at all?


Thanks in advance,

Amit Shinde
