RE: [cinjug-users] sending email from java

["James Carman" <james@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The sun.net.smtp classes are not available on all platforms (it’s not in mine).  That code is not portable (which is why we use Java isn’t it)!  The Java way to send emails is using the JavaMail API.  He could just as easily use JavaMail by providing “mailhost.worldnet.att.net” as his server, without using these non-standard classes.  However, I’m assuming he would probably run into some sort of firewall issue with trying to contact an SMTP server outside the network (that’s usually the case).

Jason,

 

Try the following.  This will send email using the outbox "mailhost.worldnet.att.net".

==============================================================

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.PrintStream;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.net.Socket;

 

import sun.net.smtp.SmtpClient;

 

public class MailMan {

 

  public MailMan() {
  }

 

  public void sendEmail(String from, String to, String subject, String message) {
   PrintStream out;
   SmtpClient send;
   try {
    send = new SmtpClient("mailhost.worldnet.att.net");  //Do not spam.  ATT will find you easily
    send.from(from);
    send.to(to);

 

    out = send.startMessage();

 

    out.println("From: " + from);
    out.println("To: " + to);
    out.println("Subject: " + subject);

 

    out.println(message);

 

    out.flush();
    out.close();
    send.closeServer();
   } catch (java.io.IOException e) {
  System.out.println(e.getMessage());
   }
  }

 

 public static void main(String[] args) {
  MailMan mm = new MailMan();
  mm.sendEmail("JKretzer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", "JKretzer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", "MailMan", "MailMan delivered this package for you.  Enjoy!!!");
 }
}

=============================================================

All you have to do is find a free outbox provider.

Thanks,
Jey Kumar

From my original post.

"Unfortunately, I do not have access to ... SMTP server."

Thanks though.

You don't need an smtp server installed, you just need access to one.

Hello List,

I have an html form that I would like to have emailed to a person after
being processed by a servlet.  Unfortunately, I do not have access to nor
permission to install and SMTP server on the box.  Is there a way to do
this in java?

Thanks,

-Jason
