I think you need activation.jar and mail.jar for sending mail. Are you sure that you have put the jar's in the build path.

Assuming you can send email to addresses in one domain, its unlikely this is the problem. You seem to be masking the exception message; what's happening in MailerBean? Presumable its not the Session.getInstance() line that causes the problem?

Its still not that easy to say, since this:

is not a very good way to handle exceptions. Why re-throw the MessagingException as an Exception? Plenty exceptions do not include a message, so you might end up with an empty message that is difficult to solve.

That being said, I'm guessing you are probably being stopped from relaying messages to different domains by your SMTP server. Get the stack trace from your MessagingException and it should at the very least include the SMTP code that prevented you program from working.

Ok, so your MessagingException is actually an AuthenticationFailedException. So it looks like you need to authenticate to send messages. Try replacing your Transport.send() line with something like:

Dear Paul,

Thank you very much for your continued guidance
I did as you have told

t = session.getTransport("smtp");
t.connect("70.86.9.114","ganesh@andreconsultancy.com", <pwd> ;
t.sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients());

But still the same error persists

Things to check:
  • Are your authentication details OK? Username and password correct?
  • Does this server allow clients to relay messages to yahoo and hotmail? Its possible your server admins just don't allow this full stop (speak to them).


  • What a 550 means is that the SMTP server doesn't let you relay a message from a specific address to another. Normally SMTP servers are configured to allow you to send emails from addresses within your domain to other addresses in your domain or outside it. Is andreconsultancy.com a domain your server allows you to send emails from (again, speak to your server admin).

    Dear Paul,



    Thank you very much.
    It is working now. After adding what you said

    -----
    message.saveChanges();
    t = session.getTransport("smtp");
    t.connect("70.86.9.114","ganesh@andreconsultancy.com", "test");
    t.sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients());

    ------
    mistakenly i have removed the quote for "true" in this line which
    made the program continue to give the error
    props.put("mail.smtp.auth", true);




    Once again I thank you,


    Thanks,
    Ganesh

    Hi,

    This problem describes exactly the problem i am having and seem so far unable to resolve.

    My email class works fine about 80% of the time...but on some smtp.hosts i get an exception:

    javax.mail.AuthenticationFailedException
    at javax.mail.Service.connect(Service.java:306)
    at javax.mail.Service.connect(Service.java:156)

    I've followed the excellent advice Paul gives above in changing the way the message is sent and this did eliminate some transport exceptions.

    However i get the above exception from the line t.sendMessage(msg, msg.getAllRecipients());

    Has anybody got any suggestions or pointers on this? Its been an ongoing problem of mine for ages now and i'm not sure what else to try

    My code (which works on the majority of emails sent out by different hosts) is:

    Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

    I'd check which domains do not allow your emails out, and I'd check whether they don't allow you to connect, or to relay the email etc. Turn on Java Mail's debugging and you'll get the complete SMTP conversation. And speak to the administrator of the SMTP servers you are having trouble with.
     
    Tongue wrestling. It's not what you think. And here, take this tiny ad. You'll need it.
