Hi, I'm trying send an email via tomcat using javamail. But I get the following error:

javax.servlet.ServletException: Sending failed;
nested exception is:
class javax.mail.MessagingException: 530 authentication required - for help go to http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/pop/pop-11.html

I did go to the yahoo url above, but couldn't find any help.

Heres my code:

Please somebody help!

Does Yahoo allow you to send directly to it's smtp server?
I thought you could only access that from their web interface.

Am pretty sure it does allow it, because i'm following an example program from a book. But my program doesn't work for some reason.

Does anyone have any other ideas of how I can efficienty send emails from tomcat?

You might want to test that SMTP server to make sure that it's still up and accepting requests.
You can do that with any mail client, such as Mozilla, Eurodoa, Thunderbird, etc....

A quick glance at your code doesn't reveal any problems.

NOTE: You may want to look into the JNDI mail features of Tomcat.

The JavaMail section is about half way down the page.
