Unreachable mail server for some reason #57

Closed irsooti closed 5 years ago

irsooti commented 5 years ago

What is the default behaviour when mail server is unreachable\down? Does it throws an exception wich could potentially stop the app or is handled in same way? Sorry but I didn't find any documentation about that

Hi Daniele,

Serilog is designed in such a way that it will never take down your app (see for more details about the philosophy : https://github.com/serilog/serilog/wiki/Reliability ).

If for some reason the e-mail delivery fails, I expect it to write the error to the SelfLog which you can read about here : https://github.com/serilog/serilog/wiki/Debugging-and-Diagnostics ).

I hope this helps !
