In the configuration properties of my javax.mail.Session I have set mail.debug=true, but for some reason, this doesn't add any new output to the application log.

I've set the log4f logging level to ALL log4j.rootLogger=ALL, stdout and yet... nothing.

Is it possible that the javax.mail debug output is written somewhere else? Sounds unlikely, but nevertheless I thought it worth asking.
