This is configuration

<appender name="SmtpAppender" type="log4net.Appender.SmtpAppender">
<to value="mail" />
<from value="mail" />
<subject value="Service Error Log" />
<smtpHost value="SMTPServer.domain.com" />
<bufferSize value="512" />
<lossy value="true" />
<evaluator type="log4net.Core.LevelEvaluator">
<threshold value="ERROR"/>
</evaluator>

This is the method I use to send the email
private void SendErrorLogByMail(string error)
{
mailLogger.Error(error);
}
I think it is the configuration, maybe something is missing or some wrong data but I don't know what, what did I do wrong? I put two appenders because the info and warning log levels must be written in the file, while the error levels in both the file and the mail

Now when log4net is configured this error is returned:
log4net: ERROR [SmtpAppender] ErrorCode: GenericFailure. Error occurred while sending e-mail notification.
