[logback-user] smtpappender buffer size

[Ceki Gülcü]

SMTPAppender now manages multiple buffers simultaneously, sending only 
the relevant buffer in case of a triggering event (usually an error). 
Thus, you can have SMTPAppender  send you an email containing the events 
for the current user. Anyway, if you wish to have the buffer size 
settable to 1, please enter a bug report. See also the docs for 
SiftingAppender.
