Problem in sending email from a portlet

[Joseph Bashir]

Hi,

I have made a portlet for sending comments/suggestions to a certain email address using JavaMail API. But when I submit the form I get the exception:

javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, port: 25;
nested exception is: 
java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out

I have tested the host and IP using telnet and its connected. This java program works fine when run from a local machine. The problem occurs only when the portlet is deployed on live server. Please guide. Its urgent.

Regards,

Joseph
