Sending a mail using Java!

Posted: Mar 29, 2002 6:23 AM

I'm working on a project and I'm trying to figure out how to send a mail from my JavaServlet, or an other Java program. My question is : Do any one know how to send a mail using the SMTP protocol? Do I have to use Socket programing?

If you have some source code or know where I can find related information about this please notify me!!

While you could write to an SMTP port from a servlet, there is an easier way. Use activation.jar and mail.jar from Sun site (JavaMail). And you could do some thing like:

	MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session); /* This is not HttpSession */
	message.setFrom( new InternetAddress() );
 
	MimeBodyPart mbp = new MimeBodyPart();
	mbp.setText( "Message body goes here" );
 
	Multipart mp = new MimeMultipart();
	mp.addBodyPart( mbp );			
 
	message.setContent( mp );
 
	message.setSentDate( new Date() );
 
	msg.setSubject( "Subject::" );
	
	InternetAddress[] addresses = { new InternetAddress() };
	message.setRecipients( Message.RecipientType.TO, addresses );							
	Transport.send( message );

Sincerely,

Well Master..
I did lots of project related to Sending and recieving mail.I have not used any mail Api provided by java.
I made it through simply socket connectivity.if you are new ,you can use Javamail Api privided by sun.Otherwise you have to go through first rfc for SMTP and POP3 and then you can implement all that commands given their in rfc's by simply making socket connectivity.I can help out if you need further help
My Email is "yousuf@security-park.com"

There is very little documentation on setting the appropriate configuration for sending emails through port 25 using CDOSYS using java. I figured I'd save someone the time by posting my results:

Make sure to import the following 3rd party classes:

import cdosys.Message;
import cdosys.Configuration;
import com.ms.com.Variant;

Since arguments are expected in Microsoft's Variant type, simply create the variant values you need ():

Variant varSrvPrt = new Variant("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport");
Variant varPort = new Variant("25");
Variant varSndUsgMethod = new Variant("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing");
Variant varSndUsgPrt = new Variant("2");
Variant varSMTPSvr = new Variant("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver");
//Make sure you are using the correct mailserver in the following statement
Variant varHostName= new Variant("mail.domain.com");

Then prepare the email:

// construct the message
Message msg = new Message();
cdosys.Configuration cfg = new cdosys.Configuration();

cfg.getFields().getItem(varSndUsgMethod).setValue(varS ndUsgPrt);
cfg.getFields().getItem(varSrvPrt).setValue(varPort);
cfg.getFields().getItem(varSMTPSvr).setValue(varHostName);
cfg.getFields().Update();

msg.setConfiguration(cfg);
msg.setFrom("nobody@nowhere.com");
msg.setTo("nobody@nowhere.com");
msg.setSub ject("subject");
msg.setTextBody("text");
msg.Send();

Hope it helps!
