OPTIONS

from

The email address of the sender.

The email address of the recipient. You can put several addresses separated by a comma.

all of the Net::SMTP options

They all start with an upper-cased letter. The most common are Host, Hello, Port, Timeout and Debug. See Net::SMTP for more.

EXAMPLE

The following Log4perl configuration file allows you to send an email on each use of $log->fatal().

# Filter for FATAL
log4perl.filter.MatchFatal = Log::Log4perl::Filter::LevelMatch
log4perl.filter.MatchFatal.LevelToMatch  = FATAL
log4perl.filter.MatchFatal.AcceptOnMatch = true

# Email Appender for FATAL
log4perl.appender.mailFatal = Log::Log4perl::Appender::SMTP
log4perl.appender.mailFatal.to = webmaster@company.com
log4perl.appender.mailFatal.Host = smtp.company.com
log4perl.appender.mailFatal.subject = Fatal error on Foo!
log4perl.appender.mailFatal.layout = Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout
log4perl.appender.mailFatal.layout.ConversionPattern = %d F{1} %L %p> %m%n
