isMailSent()

[miguel lisboa]

i'm using a basic send mail code

import java.util.Properties;
 
import javax.mail.*;
 
import javax.mail.internet.*;
 

 

public class SendMail {
    
    public void sendMail()  throws SendFailedException {
        
        Properties props = System.getProperties();
        
        props.put("mail.host", "xxxxxx");
        
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
 
        Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, new Auth());
 
        MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
        
        
 
        try {
 
            message.setFrom(new InternetAddress("xxxxxx"));
 
            message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,
                            
                            new InternetAddress("xxxxxx"));
            
            message.setSubject("test");
 
            message.setText("a test");
 
            Transport.send(message);
 
        }
 

        catch (AddressException e) {
            
System.out.println("AddressException");
            
            e.printStackTrace();
            
        }
        
        catch (MessagingException e) {
            
System.out.println("MessagingException");
            
            e.printStackTrace();
            
        }
        
        finally { 

// here? 

}
        
    }
    
}
 

 
class Auth extends Authenticator {
    
    protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
        
        return new PasswordAuthentication("xxxxxx", "xxxxxx");
        
    }
    
}
    

i'd like to know how to assure that my mail was indeed sent: is it enough to have no exceptions thrown/caught?

Exceptions will let you know if the mail didn't make it to your SMTP server. You can add EventListeners to get a bit more detail about what is going on if you need it.
