Description

This is a follow-on from LOG4J-2978 which addressed Jakarta EE 9 compatibility from a web perspective.

SmtpAppender uses SmtpManager which depends upon various javax.activation and javax.mail classes from Jakarta EE 8. To allow Log4j 2 to be used in a Jakarta EE 9 environment, an SmtpManager that uses classes in the new jakarta.activation and jakarta.mail packages is required.
