[logback-user] Issues configuring GMail appender

[ceki]

Hello Greg,

Add the following line to your logback.xml config file to see the error
message output when SMTPAppender sends out a message.

<statusListener
     class="ch.qos.logback.core.status.OnConsoleStatusListener" />

For more info on  OnConsoleStatusListener see [1].

By the way, you should not declare logback-access as a dependency if you 
are not using logback-access.

HTH,
