No worries...

Well, check your STUPID_LOG_FILE and if there are entries in there that you
would expect to see mails about then something's not working right.

Be aware that the MailingLogger catches all internal exceptions (such as
failed mail delivery) because not doing so would kill Zope and that would be
really bad ;-)

Do something that generates a PANIC log message in an external method:

from zLOG import LOG,PANIC
   LOG('Test',PANIC,'Something bad happened')

cheers,
