Raj, How did you solve your problem? I doubt mine is similiar but I am receiving a error upon instantiating the SendMailServlet class... java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/mail/MessagingException Any ideas?

Hi
I come across the same problem,someone know how to solve it?
Message.setFrom() accepts an Address. JavaMail accepts any properly formatted email address. The address spec (in case anyone wanted to know) is RFC 822.
That means, you can send in "john smith <john.smith@foo.com>" and if your email client is configured to do so, it will display only "John Smith". There's no particular way to "force" a client to show parts or the whole email address though.
