Log4j send email to multiple users via properties

I am trying to configure my log4j properties file in order to send emails when are error occurs. I have it working for one person, and am receiving the emails whenever an error occurs. However, I want to have the emails be sent to multiple people on my team when something happens. Is there a way to configure this? Here is my log file:

log4j.rootLogger=warn, sendMail
log4j.logger.org.apache=ERROR

log4j.appender.sendMail=org.apache.log4j.net.SMTPAppender  
log4j.appender.sendMail.Threshold=WARN  
[email protected]
[email protected]  
log4j.appender.sendMail.SMTPHost=smtp.asdf.asdf.com
log4j.appender.sendMail.Subject=Error Log Message  
log4j.appender.sendMail.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout  
log4j.appender.sendMail.layout.ConversionPattern=%p %t %c - %m%n  
log4j.appender.sendMail.BufferSize=1

I have tried adding a comma after the 'To' command and adding another email address, but that person does not receive it. Any ideas on how I can configure this file to send the errors to multiple people?

Maybe you can skip the problem altogether by using a mail alias or a mailing list instead of a list of mail addresses here.

This seams to have the advantage that is is probably easier to maintain than modifying your property-file each time.

This is considered the correct way to use multiple appends, in log4j1.2.x:

[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]
