Comment (by karsten):

 Some thoughts:

  - Leaving a version of this appender in the default logback.xml and
 commenting it out sounds good to me.
  - Did this setup work with your email provider without issues, or do we
 need to pay attention to things like having to authenticate to the SMTP
 server or having to log in via POP3/IMAP before being able to send
 messages via SMTP?  I guess I could try out myself, but maybe this is
 something you already found out.
  - Are there non-HTML layouts available for the text email folks?  Or are
 they all ugly?
  - Does this really send 1 email per ERROR line?  Depending on how we're
 using them, this could produce a lot of emails.  We might have to go
 through the code first and make sure that we're rate-limiting them
 internally.
  - You say this appender doesn't send any emails on WARN or lower?  In
 that case we should probably go through the code and make sure that all
 relevant situations that require immediate attention of the operator are
 on ERROR and not on WARN or even lower.
