SMTPHost property name incorrect in documentation
-------------------------------------------------

                 Key: LBSITE-42
                 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBSITE-42
             Project: logback-site
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Documentation
    Affects Versions: 0.9.26
         Environment: Linux hostname-03 2.6.27-17-server #1 SMP Fri Mar 12 04:04:33 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

            Reporter: Jay Taylor
            Assignee: Logback dev list
            Priority: Trivial


The following documentation appears to have some incorrect information: http://logback.qos.ch/manual/appenders.html#SMTPAppender

The table includes a property named "smtpHost". Using this value results in logback ignoring the setting and attempting to send mail through localhost.
The correct property name appears to be "SMTPHost". The documentation also states that the parameter is mandatory. It appears to fall back to localhost if it is not encountered (perhaps java-mail is doing that).

I would assume that "smtpPort" is incorrect too based on the setter name of "SMTPPort" in SMTPAppenderBase.
