Perhaps I should rephrase the question--is there any way to prevent a
logger from inheriting the rootLogger's appenders?

I tried adding additivity to the appender, and it didn't like it:

    log4j.appender.email.additivity=false

resulted in:

    log4j:WARN No such property [additivity] in
org.apache.log4j.net.SMTPAppender.

I also tried adding it to the notify logger, and it ignored it:

    log4j.logger.notify.additivity=false

Thanks,
Dhruva
