Basic log4j Mail Message Appender.
Used for logging log events that will eventually be emailed out. Logs events using WOMailDelivery.

Mandatory Fields:
ToAddresses - comma separated list of email addresses to send the log event message to.
FromAddress - Who the message is from, if left blank then DomainName is a mandatory field.

Optional Fields:
BccAddresses - comma separated list of email address to bcc on the email
CcAddresses - comma separated list of email address to cc on the email
ReplyTo - reply to address
DomainName - When generating a from email address, used for the bit after the "@", ie foo@bar.com, the domain name is 'bar.com'.
HostName - When generating an email address from, defaults to name of the localhost.
ExceptionPage - name of the exception page, is unset,
Title - Title of the email messages, if not specified the title will be a truncated version of the log message.
Qualifier - qualifier that defines if the event should be logged.
