log4j SMTPAppender -- combining messages into one e-mail?

Hello!

I'm trying to use log4j's SMTPAppender to get warnings and errors reported
by our application via e-mail (in addition to having ALL messages saved
into a file via RollingFileAppe nder).

It all works, except for one thing -- every warning/error arrives in its own
e-mail message...

The BufferSize parameters appears intended to regulate this, but no matter
what I set it to (tried different values from 1 to 102400), exactly one
log-message per e-mail are still generated...

Any ideas? Thanks!

-mi

Here is my current log4.properties file:

log4j.rootLogge r=DEBUG, A1, mail
log4j.appender. A1=org.apache.l og4j.RollingFil eAppender
log4j.appender. A1.File=log.txt
log4j.appender. R.MaxFileSize=1 00KB
log4j.appender. R.MaxBackupInde x=1

log4j.appender. A1.layout=org.a pache.log4j.Pat ternLayout

# Pattern to output the caller's file name and line number.
log4j.appender. A1.layout.Conve rsionPattern=%d %5p [%t] (%F:%L) - %m%n

log4j.appender. mail=org.apache .log4j.net.SMTP Appender
lo************* **********@exam ple.com
lo************* ************@ex ample.com
log4j.appender. mail.SMTPHost=s mtp.example.com
log4j.appender. mail.Threshold= WARN
log4j.appender. mail.BufferSize =1024000
log4j.appender. mail.Subject=Te sting log4j email
log4j.appender. mail.layout=org .apache.log4j.H TMLLayout

Hi, I have a web application (using J2EE) which runs on 3 tomcats (4.0) for Load Balancing. I have recently started to use the Log4j in this application. Currently the logs for this application is of the tomcat's(System.out.println...) - and because there are 3 tomcats there are 3 logs. The log4j writes to one file only. My question is: How can I tell in the log4j log from which server the request came
