Logback SMTPAppender not sending email

问题

I am attempting to use Logback for logging in my java application. I believe I have it correctly configured, but when an error is logged

INFO in ch.qos.logback.classic.net.SMTPAppender[EMAIL] - About to send out SMTP message "Testing Main" to [XXXX@optonline.net]

is printed to the console, nothing else is printed after that, and the email is never received. If I enter an invalid smtp host or username/password in the config it fails immediately on attempting to send, so it is establishing a connection.

This is the code that is running to produce my test errors

logger.error("Entering app");
logger.error("exiting app");

System.out.println("exiting");

Any help debugging this issue would be greatly appreciated Thank you

I also faced this issue and found the solution. To run above code you have to made some changes :

1. Add `<STARTTLS>true</STARTTLS>` in your configuration
2. Add  <asynchronousSending>false</asynchronousSending>

It seems to have been an issue with the SMTP server I was using. I setup Papercut as a local smtp server and I can see it receive the messages
