How do I send an SMTP Message from Java?

Answer 1

Here's an example for Gmail smtp:

import java.io.*; import java.net.InetAddress; import java.util.Properties; import java.util.Date;  import javax.mail.*;  import javax.mail.internet.*;  import com.sun.mail.smtp.*;   public class Distribution {      public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {         Properties props = System.getProperties();         props.put("mail.smtps.host","smtp.gmail.com");         props.put("mail.smtps.auth","true");         Session session = Session.getInstance(props, null);         Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);         msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress("[email protected]"));;         msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,         InternetAddress.parse("[email protected]", false));         msg.setSubject("Heisann "+System.currentTimeMillis());         msg.setText("Med vennlig hilsennTov Are Jacobsen");         msg.setHeader("X-Mailer", "Tov Are's program");         msg.setSentDate(new Date());         SMTPTransport t =             (SMTPTransport)session.getTransport("smtps");         t.connect("smtp.gmail.com", "[email protected]", "<insert password here>");         t.sendMessage(msg, msg.getAllRecipients());         System.out.println("Response: " + t.getLastServerResponse());         t.close();     } } 

Now, do it this way only if you would like to keep your project dependencies to a minimum, otherwise i can warmly recommend using classes from apache
