Problem with Java Mail

[Makarand Parab]

Hi All
My application is a java batch application, which executes certain batch of work and sends a status mail once the batch of work is done. I am using java mail to send the email. My mail client is Lotus Notes. If i give the group name in the "To" block, the mail class does not throw any exception and runs fine but i do not recieve the status mail. If i give my mail id in the "To" block, it sends me a status mail.

In short, i am not able to send emails to a particular group through java mail. can anybody let me know what's the problem.

Thanks in advance

Regards

I'm moving this to the "Other API's" forum -- where Java Mail gets discussed a bunch. So please post your replies there, thanks!

How does the JavaMail API know what group you are talking about? If I am understanding you correctly, you've made a distribution list of email addresses. We have a ton where I work, one being _PC_SUPPORT which contains all the email addresses for the PC Support staff, myself included. If I write a JavaMail application, it has no way of knowing anything about the _PC_SUPPORT distribution list because JavaMail is not connected to our Exchange servers. Nor would your program know anything about your lotus setup.
