&lt;div style="FONT-SIZE:67%;MARGIN:8px;FONT-FAMILY:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;-webkit-background-clip:initial;-webkit-background-origin:initial;"&gt;It&amp;#39;s very annoying to work with Enterprise Library as the framework doesn&amp;#39;t throw any exception when it doesn&amp;#39;t do what it can&amp;#39;t do! 
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;For instance, I have added an Email TraceListener but the email to and from and SMTPServer have all wrong values.&amp;nbsp;ExceptionPolicy.HandleException(...) runs without raising any exception.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Also I have tested it with a Database Listener and it has the same behaviour.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;In this way, obviously, it&amp;#39;s very hard to debug (just try and error) and makes this tool maybe unreliable because if for any reason it stops working on Production then you won&amp;#39;g notify it.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;I really hope Microsoft will fix this in the next version.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
