    Description

      The following documentation appears to have some incorrect information: http://logback.qos.ch/manual/appenders.html#SMTPAppender

      The table includes a property named "smtpHost". Using this value results in logback ignoring the setting and attempting to send mail through localhost.
      The correct property name appears to be "SMTPHost". The documentation also states that the parameter is mandatory. It appears to fall back to localhost if it is not encountered (perhaps java-mail is doing that).

      I would assume that "smtpPort" is incorrect too based on the setter name of "SMTPPort" in SMTPAppenderBase.

      Log info:
