Sending Email via JAVA [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
How can I send an email by Java application using GMail, Yahoo, or Hotmail?
(14 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I am trying to make automatic message which will be sent on email but, when i start my program i get :
com.sun.mail.util.MailConnectException: Couldn't connect to host, port: localhost, 25; timeout -1;
I want it to be sent from localhost not exact email with password and username.
code:
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.*;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import javax.activation.*;
import javax.mail.Session;
import javax.mail.Transport;
public class Email
{
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
String recipient = "test#gmail.com";
String sender = "sender#gmail.com";
String host = "localhost";
Properties properties = System.getProperties();
properties.setProperty("mail.smtp.host", host);
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(properties);
try {
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(sender));
message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(recipient));
message.setSubject("Test sub");
message.setText("Test MSG");
Transport.send(message);
System.out.println("Sent.");
} catch (AddressException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (MessagingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
To run this class i am using javax.mail.jar.
Does somebody know where the problem is ?

It's trying to connect to the mail server at localhost but you don't have one running. To send smtp emails you'll have to connect to a mail server. The default port is 25. That's why the message says:
Couldn't connect to host, port: localhost, 25
So update your host property to point to where a server is running. You can use SMTP settings from say a gmail account to do this easily.
This might help.

Sending EMail with Javamail via Exchange Server

we have an Exchange Server and i wanted to test sending a mail with it. But somehow i always get the error:
com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPSendFailedException: 550 5.7.1 Message rejected as spam by Content Filtering.
at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.issueSendCommand(SMTPTransport.java:2108)

at javax.mail.Transport.send(Transport.java:124)
at Test.sendMailJava(Test.java:89)

i tried looking at our exchange if anonymous users were allowed and they are, our Printer also send Mails without any authentification.
Here is my Java code, hope someone can help:

Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(properties);
try {
// Create a default MimeMessage object.
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
// Set From: header field of the header.
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
// Set To: header field of the header.
message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(to));
// Set Subject: header field
message.setSubject("Subject");
// Now set the actual message
message.setContent("Content", "text/html; charset=utf-8");
// Send message
Transport.send(message);
System.out.println("Sent message successfully....");
}catch (MessagingException mex) {
mex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
I also tried SimpleMail, but there is the same error.
The Connection to the smtp Server seems to work, but the message cannot be send, cause of the error above. What could it be?
Greetings,
Kevin
Edit:
i found my error, i don't know why our printers can send maisl without errors but it seems i had to whitelist my ip at our exchange server. Code was completely fine.
thanks for the help

I know you are wanting the smtp option, but I have a feeling the issue is how your server is setup and not in your code. If you get the EWS-Java Api, you can log into your exchange server directly and grab mail that way. Below is the code that would make that work:
public class ExchangeConnection {
private final ExchangeService service = new ExchangeService(ExchangeVersion.Exchange2010_SP2); // change to whatever server you are running, though 2010_SP2 is the most recent version the Api supports
public ExchangeConnection(String username, String password) {
try {
service.setCredentials(new WebCredentials(username, password));
service.setUrl(new URI("https://(your webmail address)/ews/exchange.asmx"));
}
catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
}
public boolean sendEmail(String subject, String message, List<String> recipients, List<String> filesNames) {
try {
EmailMessage email = new EmailMessage(service);
email.setSubject(subject);
email.setBody(new MessageBody(message));
for (String fileName : fileNames) email.getAttachments().addFileAttachment(fileName);
for (String recipient : recipients) email.getToRecipients().add(recipient);
email.sendAndSaveCopy();
return true;
}
catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); return false; }
}
}
In your code you just have to create the class, then use the sendEmail method to send emails to whomever.

Your JavaMail code is not authenticating to your server, which may be why the server is rejecting the message with that error message. (Spammers often use open email servers.)
Change your code to call the Transport.send method that accepts a user name and password.

Transport.send(message);
System.out.println("Sent message successfully....");
} catch (MessagingException e) {

I tried getting hint from this link. But it seems to be using a slightly different method.
On running it with a debugger, exception seems to be coming from following code:
Transport.send(message);
Following is the stack trace:

PS: I have checked the username and password. Also, 2 step sign in process is not enabled for the account from which I am trying to send mail.
Can someone please explain what could be the cause of authenticatio failure? Alternatively, if there is some other post which has already answered the query, please point me to it. Thanks.

The server isn't happy with the username or password you're using. You can probably guess the common reasons that might be the case, staring with you provided the wrong username or password.
The JavaMail Session debugging output might provide more information.

change String host = "relay.jangosmtp.net";
to String host = "smtp.gmail.com";
and Port from 25 to 587

Having trouble sending to Gmail SMTP using javax.mail

I want to send a mail using Gmail's SMTP server. Can you tell me why it won't connect to server when I run the bellow code.
import javax.mail.Session;
import javax.mail.Transport;
import javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage;
public class SendTrick {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.host", "465");
props.put("mail.from", "example#gmail.com");
props.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.gmail.com");
Session session = Session.getInstance(props, null);
try {
MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(session);
msg.setFrom();
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,
"ex#gmail.com");
msg.setSubject("JavaMail hello world example");
msg.setText("Hello, world!\n");
Transport.send(msg);
} catch (MessagingException mex) {
System.out.println("send failed, exception: " + mex);
}
}
}
The exception in the log is
send failed, exception: javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not
connect to SMTP host: smtp.gmail.com, port: 25; nested exception is:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect

You are not setting a mail.smtp.port since there is a duplication typo on the property mail.smtp.host, therefore the default port 25 is being used, as detailed in the the Exception.
GMail's SMTP is not running on port 25, which is why the connection is being refused. From Set up POP in mail clients, it looks like it should be 465 or 587, so you have a valid value but the property key is incorrect.
Edit:
You need use the correct property key for the port:
props.put("mail.smtp.port", "465"); // <-- use the word "port", not "host"
After this is fixed, you may also find authentication issues, as already noted in the comments, unless you have purposely left out the javax.mail.Authenticator code in the question.
Edit 2:
As I mentioned, you might need to specify additional properties to successfully authenticate and be authorised with the SMTP server, for example:
props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true");
But, since you are using port 465 for SSL connection you will also need to specify additional SSL properties such as the mail.smtp.socketFactory.class.

Follow this steps:
Disable "Two factor authentication" in Your Email
Navigate to: "https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps?pli=1" and turn on "Access for less secure apps"
Download JavaMail API "https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javamail/index-138643.html" and Add it to your library
CODE
import java.util.Properties;
import javax.mail.Message;
import javax.mail.PasswordAuthentication;
import javax.mail.Session;
import javax.mail.Transport;
import javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress;
import javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage;
public class email_try {
public static void main(String ap[]) {
String myEmail = "YOUR EMAIL";
String password = "YOUR PASSWORD";
String opponentEmail = "THEIR EMAIL";
Properties pro = new Properties();
pro.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.gmail.com");
pro.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true");
pro.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
pro.put("mail.smtp.port", "587");
Session ss = Session.getInstance(pro, new javax.mail.Authenticator() {
#Override
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication(myEmail, password);
}
});
try {
Message msg = new MimeMessage(ss);
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(myEmail));
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, InternetAddress.parse(opponentEmail));
msg.setSubject("Your Wish");
msg.setText("java email app");
Transport trans = ss.getTransport("smtp");
Transport.send(msg);
System.out.println("message sent");
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}
}
}
TRY THIS CODE AND PUT CORRECT EMAIL ID AND PASSWORD

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 {

Session session = Session.getInstance(props, null);
Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress("mail#tovare.com"));;
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,
InternetAddress.parse("tov.are.jacobsen#iss.no", 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", "admin#tovare.com", "<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
http://commons.apache.org/email/

Another way is to use aspirin (https://github.com/masukomi/aspirin) like this:
MailQue.queMail(MimeMessage message)
..after having constructed your mimemessage as above.
Aspirin is an smtp 'server' so you don't have to configure it. But note that sending email to a broad set of recipients isnt as simple as it appears because of the many different spam filtering rules receiving mail servers and client applications apply.

Please see this post

It is specific to gmail but you can substitute your smtp credentials.

See the following tutorial at Java Practices.
http://www.javapractices.com/topic/TopicAction.do?Id=144

See the JavaMail API and associated javadocs.

import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import java.util.*;
public void postMail(String recipients[], String subject,
String message , String from) throws MessagingException {
//Set the host smtp address
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.jcom.net");
// create some properties and get the default Session
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
session.setDebug(false);
// create a message
Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
// set the from and to address
InternetAddress addressFrom = new InternetAddress(from);
msg.setFrom(addressFrom);
InternetAddress[] addressTo = new InternetAddress[recipients.length];
for (int i = 0; i < recipients.length; i++) {
addressTo[i] = new InternetAddress(recipients[i]);
}
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, addressTo);
// Optional : You can also set your custom headers in the Email if you Want
msg.addHeader("MyHeaderName", "myHeaderValue");
// Setting the Subject and Content Type
msg.setSubject(subject);
msg.setContent(message, "text/plain");
Transport.send(msg);
}
