Sending emails through your Java program?

Hi,

I am just wondering is there any developers in the know about how to send emails through a program. I have looked all over the place and it seems very complicated and that I have to learn the mail protocols. Any advice on where to start on even the simplest of programs that just emails a line of input text would be a help. I could go from there.

Thanks

You don't need to learn lots about email protocols. The Java API for handling email is called JavaMail, and its home page is at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javamail/index.html. There's a very extensive FAQ with lots of example code as well. If you don't have a mail server which you can (or want to) use, check out Aspirin: https://github.com/masukomi/aspirin
