Java mail using gmail

[blv krishna]

Hi All,

I wrote the following to send mail using java.

  /*Program to send mails.
Version: 1.0
Author : Team-J.
*/

import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.InetAddress;
import java.util.Properties;
import java.util.Date;


public class SendMail {

    public void send(String toAddress,String fromAddress,String sub,String msgText) {
	try{
	String  to=toAddress,subject=sub,from=fromAddress,url = null;
	String mailhost = "smtp.gmail.com";
	Properties props = System.getProperties();
	String msg_text=msgText;
	String mailer = "MyMailerProgram";
                props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable","true");
	props.put("mail.smtp.host", mailhost);
                props.put("mail.smtp.port", "465");
               String user="*******";
                String pass="******";
                props.put("mail.smtps.user",user);
	props.put("mail.smtps.password",pass);
	Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
	session.setDebug(true);
	Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
	msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
	msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,
	InternetAddress.parse(to, false));
	msg.addRecipients(Message.RecipientType.BCC,
					InternetAddress.parse(cc, false));
	msg.setSubject(subject);
	msg.setHeader("X-Mailer", mailer);
	msg.setSentDate(new Date());
	msg.setText(msg_text);
	Transport.send(msg);
	} catch (Exception e) {
	    e.printStackTrace();
	}
    }

    public static void main(String args[])
    {
new SendMail().send("[e-mail]","[e-mail]","hi","bye");
	}
}

 

But i got the following ERROR.

SMTPSendFailedException: 530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first

Anyone please help me to reslove this error.

Hi welcome to CodeRanch :-)

First, when you post code can you please use code tags? You can use the by putting [code][/code] tags around the code, or by using the Code button at the top of the message form. The code tags make it a lot easier to read your code. You can go ahead and add the code tags back into the message now using the button.


To your question. It looks like if you add the following line to your code, prior to sending the message, it works.

props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable","true");

Hi Steve,

After adding the below statement also i am getting the same error.

props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable","true");

Have you read the section about Gmail in the JavaMail FAQ yet?
