Unable to send mail through an application

[vartika vaish]

Hi,

I am trying to send a mail using java mail. Below is the code:

package com.mail.utility;

import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import java.util.*;

public class MailUtility {

	  private static final String SMTP_HOST_NAME = "A1DAL1SWPES20MB.ams.acs-inc.net";//"smtp.gmail.com";
	  private static final String SMTP_AUTH_USER = "americas\30064440";//"[e-mail]";
	  private static final String SMTP_AUTH_PWD  = "*******";////"*******";

	  
	  public void postMail( String recipients[ ], String recipientsCc[ ],String subject,
	                            String message , String from) throws MessagingException
	  {
	       boolean debug = false;
	       Properties props = new Properties();
	       props.put("mail.smtp.host", SMTP_HOST_NAME);
	                        //props.put("mail.smtp.port","425"); //for gmail

  	        props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
  
	       Authenticator auth = new SMTPAuthenticator();
	       Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, auth);

	       session.setDebug(debug);
	      
  	       Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
	    
	       InternetAddress addressFrom = new InternetAddress(from);
	       msg.setFrom(addressFrom);
	    
	       int toCount = 0;
	       for (int i = 0; i < recipients.length; i++)
	       {
	    	if(recipients[i]!=null)
	    		toCount = toCount+1;;
	       }
	    
	       InternetAddress[] addressTo = new InternetAddress[toCount];
	       for (int i = 0; i < recipients.length; i++)
	       {
	    	if(recipients[i]!=null)
	    		addressTo[i] = new InternetAddress(recipients[i]);
	       }
	       msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, addressTo);
	    
	       int count = 0;
	       for (int i = 0; i < recipientsCc.length; i++)
	       {
	    	if(recipientsCc[i]!=null)
	    		count = count + 1;
	       }
	    
	       InternetAddress[] addressCc = new InternetAddress[count];
	       for (int i = 0; i < recipientsCc.length; i++)
	       {
	    	
	    	if(recipientsCc[i]!=null)
	    		addressCc[i] = new InternetAddress(recipientsCc[i]);
	       }
	       msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.CC, addressCc);
	    
	        msg.setSubject(subject);
	        msg.setContent(message, "text/plain");
	        Transport.send(msg);
	   }


	/**
	* SimpleAuthenticator is used to do simple authentication
	* when the SMTP server requires it.
	*/
	private class SMTPAuthenticator extends javax.mail.Authenticator
	{

	    public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication()
	    {
	        String username = SMTP_AUTH_USER;
	        String password = SMTP_AUTH_PWD;
	        return new PasswordAuthentication(username, password);
	    }
	}
	
	public static void main (String[] args)
	{
		String emailMsgTxt      = "Hi, \n\n"; 
		emailMsgTxt      += " Trial Mail";
		emailMsgTxt      += " \n\nThanks,";
		
		final String emailSubjectTxt  = "Infromation Regarding resource";
		final String emailFromAddress = "[e-mail]";
						
		String[] emailToList = {"[e-mail]"};
		final String[] emailCcList = {"[e-mail]"};
					    
		MailUtility smtpMailSender = new MailUtility();
				    
		try {
			smtpMailSender.postMail( emailToList,emailCcList, emailSubjectTxt, emailMsgTxt, emailFromAddress);
			
		} catch (MessagingException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		  
	}

         }

Running the code gives the following exception:

using the below sites i cam eto know that port 25 is blocked on my machine:

http://www.dbapool.com/portchecker.php
http://www.canyouseeme.org/

-----------------------------------------------

doing telnet to the server :
Microsoft Telnet> open A1DAL1SWPES20MB.ams.acs-inc.net 25
Connecting To A1DAL1SWPES20MB.ams.acs-inc.net...Could not open connection to the host, on port 25: Connect failed

--------------------------------------------------

Question:
1. How come Microsoft Outlook is able to access the same server and send and receive mails on my system?
2. Am i right in my understanding that the above exception is because port 25 is blocked?

Vartika.

You're most likely behind a firewall that doesn't let any traffic through to your machine, on port 25 or any other. That's why those web sites can't connect to it, and that's exactly as it should be.

But more importantly, port 25 on your machine is irrelevant, it's port 25 on the mail server that's being used.

Are you certain that the server name and port are correct?

Are you certain that the server name and port are correct?

Yes. I think McAfee on my machine has blocked port 25 but again what i do not understand is how is outlook connecting to the same server?
