my code is as follows:

  Properties props = System.getProperties();
  props.put("mail.smtp.host", smtp);
  Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
  MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
  message.setFrom( new InternetAddress("[e-mail]"));
  message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,
          new InternetAddress("[e-mail]"));
  message.setSubject("Subject");        
  message.setText("Body Text");
  Transport.send(message);
  } catch (Exception e){
    e.printStackTrace();
  }

550 Authentication required. Help at http://www.earthlink.net/go/emailsettings (failed to find host name from IP address)

This is your cause. You need authenticated to send mail.

Try the code below, instead of Transport.send()

Transport t = session.getTransport(protocol);
try {
    t.connect(username, password);
    t.sendMessage(msg, msg.getAllRecipients());
} catch (....) {
 
} finally {
    t.close();
}

I ve got this exception after reformating my code:

javax.mail.NoSuchProviderException: No provider for earthlink.net
at javax.mail.Session.getProvider(Session.java:455)
at javax.mail.Session.getTransport(Session.java:650)
at javax.mail.Session.getTransport(Session.java:631)
at Reminder.sendMessage(Reminder.java:42)
at Reminder.main(Reminder.java:99)


Code:

try {
String smtp = "earthlink.net";
Properties props = System.getProperties();
props.put("mail.smtp.host", smtp);
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom( new InternetAddress("[e-mail]"));
message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,
new InternetAddress("[e-mail]"));
message.setSubject("Subject");
message.setText("Body Text");
Transport t = session.getTransport(smtp);
try {
t.connect("username", "password");
t.sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients());
} catch (Exception e) { }
finally {
t.close();
}
} catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}

If you click on the link in your previous error message, http://www.earthlink.net/go/emailsettings, you get a page that tells you how to configure various email clients to use Earthlink SMTP, including the correct name for the SMTP server.

[Ulf Dittmer]

String smtp = "earthlink.net";
Properties props = System.getProperties();
props.put("mail.smtp.host", smtp);

You need to provide the mail server, which might be something like smtp.earthlink.net or mail.earthlink.net or some such. Consult the Earthlink documentation or online help to find what you need to put in there.

Hello,

Before using your SMTP address try to ping that from command prompt if it's valid you will get reply from ping commnad.
CMD:>ping mail.yahoo.com

Thanks!
