[logback-user] SMTP Appender silently fails

[ceki]

Hi Alex,

I am investigating this issue. In the mean time, please add an 
OnConsoleStatusListener to the top of your config file.

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

This will print error messages occurring after configuration.
