There is SMTPAppender class exists in Log4j which sends an email through SMTP for each logged message.

<appender name="AdministratorEmail" class="org.apache.log4j.net.SMTPAppender">
  <param name="BufferSize" value="512" />
  <param name="SMTPHost" value="some.email.host.org" />
  <param name="From" value="[email protected]" />
  <param name="To" value="[email protected],[email protected]" />
  <param name="SMTPUsername" value="[email protected]" />
  <param name="SMTPPassword" value="abcdpassword" />
  <param name="SMTPDebug" value="true" /> 
  <param name="Subject" value="SomeApplication on SomeServer12" />
  <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
    <param name="ConversionPattern"
      value="[%d{ISO8601}]%n%n%-5p%n%n%c%n%n%m%n%n" />
  </layout>
  <filter class="org.apache.log4j.varia.LevelRangeFilter">
    <param name="LevelMin" value="error" />
    <param name="LevelMax" value="fatal" />
