[logback-user] Hang with SMTPAppender

[Jeff Jensen]

Tying up loose ends... so many problems later!

I started resolving the needed compile deps to run
SMTPAppender_SubethaSMTPTest, but never finished.  I found that having a
DEBUG logger on org.subethamail causes the test to hang, as simple as:

  <logger name="org.subethamail" level="DEBUG" />

My guess is the tiny bit of extra processing of its messages must cause a
race condition to miss reading the response (?).


Any chance of adding the timeout attribute to SMTP appender?  I still think
it is a good idea, and would like to set it.

OK.

Yes, 10 seconds is more than enough.

As I mentioned in my previous mail, we also use SubethaSMTP for testing 
purposes. See SMTPAppender_SubethaSMTPTest [1]. Could you copy and paste 
   SMTPAppender_SubethaSMTPTest into your environment and see if it runs 
properly? If it runs OK, I suggest comparing the code in 
SMTPAppender_SubethaSMTPTest with your test code.
