Patrick Houk commented on LBCLASSIC-323:
----------------------------------------

I also experienced lost emails after upgrading from 0.9.30 to 1.0.0, but I think the reason is different (I use Java 6).  I think the problem in my case is that SMTPAppender was changed in 1.0 to send emails asynchronously.  I often use SMTPAppender to send alert emails when there is a fatal error, and then exit the application.  My theory is that the sending thread simply doesn't have time to process the message before the process dies.  Perhaps a configuration option can be added to specify synchronous sending?

> After upgrading from 0.9.30 to 1.0.0, the ch.qos.logback.classic.net.SMTPAppender seizes to work. It just does not send any messages anymore.
> This behaviour has apparently been observed by others as well and is also described in this thread:
> http://old.nabble.com/SMTPAppender-mail-not-sent-%28logback-1.0.0%2C-JDK-1.5%29-to33164248.html
> It resumes working when - while making no other changes - logback is downgraded to version 0.9.30
