Hi Sajeev
Your "mail.smtp.host" has got to reference a valid SMTP mail server. I suggest that you have a talk with your network/mail server administrator and find the name or IP address of a SMTP server that will allow you to use it for outgoing emails.
The rest of the code looks fine.

Hi Sajeev
what is the version of sdk on which trying to run this code . Is it greater than 1.2?
becoz i noticed that the method getInstance(props) is supported under sdk 1.2 but it not available under sdk 1.4 it has only getInstance(java.util.Properties,Authenticator)

Its enought to make you scream with frustration

You have thrown away the information you need to solve your problem.
You should either print a stack trace or create an errorPage and have it print a stack trace.
This can be as simple as:

hmmm... :roll: Hope your code works and whenever you have some time check the mailer taglib, you'll see how easy and clean is to send an email from a jsp...
