//Example runtime configuration, can also use log.config, app.config, or web.config
Log.ResetConfiguration();

// Initialize email target
EmailTarget target = new EmailTarget();
target.SmtpServer = "mail.example.com";
target.SmtpPort = 25;           
target.FromEmail = "testemail@example.com";
target.ToEmail = "testemail2@example.com";
target.Bcc = "";
target.Subject = "Logging message";
target.IsBodyHtml = true;
target.UserName = "testemail@example.com";
target.Password = "secret";

Log.Config.Targets.Add(target);

Log.Debug("This is a test");
