I have a new application, which leverage logback for logging. With the SMTPAppender on classpath, and the appener configured.
On application startup, it however still failed the application, complaining about `SMTPAppender` without much details.
Turned out it has a dependency on javax.activation and javax.mail, even though the exception didn’t mention about it.
With the dependency on classpath, the application started successfully.
