I am using 1.2.9 (release from Apache Incubator.) Could it be that this
is too 'old'?=20

If not, then I'll triple check that what I last saw didn't have lossy
somehow set. Maybe it was a residual message from that configuration,
since I've not noticed one recently. Sorry if this was all "lossy"
related.

Thanks for investigating.

Regards,

Adam

Adam,

If the SmtpAppender is configured not to be lossy (i.e. Lossy=3Dfalse)
then the current buffer will be sent. If the appender is in lossy mode
(Lossy=3Dtrue) then the buffer is not sent when the appender is closed.

As you are not seeing this behaviour, which version of log4net are you
using?

Cheers,
Nicko
