problem sending an email with javamail

[dr_pompeii]

Hello guys
i need really your help, my boss have a gun and .... i want to live,
i cant send a simple email
this is my xml configuration

<beans>
<bean id="mailSender" class="org.springframework.mail.javamail.JavaMailSenderImpl"> 
   <property name="host"> 
   	<value>mail.yahoo.com</value>
    </property>
    <property name="username" >
   	<value>usernamesenderyahoo</value> <!-- same result if i write with @yahoo.com-->
    </property>
    <property name="password">
	 <value>passwordsenderyahoo</value>
    </property>		    	    
    <property name="javaMailProperties">
        <props>
	  <prop key="mail.smtp.auth">true</prop>
        </props>
    </property>
</bean>
		
<bean id="messageSender" class="com.test.ComplexMessageSender" >
   <property name="javaMailSender">
	<ref local="mailSender"/>
   </property>
   <property name="to">
	<value>emailaddressdestination@hotmail.com</value>
   </property>
   <property name="from">
	<value>usernamesenderyahoo@yahoo.com</value>
   </property>
   <property name="subject">
	<value>Spring mail</value>
   </property>						
</bean>			  
</beans>

when i start up the tomcat 5.5.27, by "ant" i execute a java class that call a bean

ComplexMessageSender plex = (ComplexMessageSender) ctx.getBean("messageSender");			
plex.sendMessage();

so after almost 3-5 minutes i recieve this prize

Just to be sure, have you tried to connect to SMTP server using telnet ?
(http://www.yuki-onna.co.uk/email/smtp.html)

[karldmoore]

I don't know if yahoo will play nicely or not. I have used gmail successfully before, but these services are sometimes changed from time to time to prevent spam and such like. I would google the problem, there are lots of responses out there.

e.g.
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=244595
http://saloon.javaranch.com/45/000783.html

[dr_pompeii]

Hello guys
thanks for your reply both

pgras

telnet: connect to address 209.191.92.114: Connection timed out

I'd try googling this an going through the results. As I said before, they do mess with the settings on these things. I've had gmail working one week and not the next, very frustrating.

[dr_pompeii]

Hello karldmoore

As I said before, they do mess with the settings on these things.

jesus, i must shoot them

I've had gmail working one week and not the next, very frustrating.

really very frustrating., each count should has an option to let send by java mail (to avoid possible false spams) - a solution

i had an old project with java mail 2 years ago, but without Spirng, and always works, was with a count in http://www.cwazy.net/, (see its features ), i never had problems with that, but now is not free anymore

maybe other member of the forum use other server for email , and share a link

thanks for advanced

[karldmoore]

There are lots of threads out there, I guess you just have to look through them.

e.g.
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp...sageID=4292920

[dr_pompeii]

Hello karldmoore

this is a golden link, his code works!
jesus!!!

i am using the 2 java classes by Pro Spring (free source code)
the unique difference is the Authenticator

regards

[ostewart]

To send mail over an authenticated connection, you need to setup the Session with an Authenticator implementation. That's not provided by Spring out of the box, but you can easily wire in your own implementation. For gmail, you'd do something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
	xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
							http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.0.xsd">

        <!-- our Authenticator implementation -->
	<bean id="smtpAuthenticator"
		class="forums.mailtest.SmtpAuthenticator">
		<constructor-arg value="yourname@gmail.com" />
		<constructor-arg value="password" />
	</bean>

        <!-- now setup an authenticated session -->
	<bean id="mailSession" class="javax.mail.Session"
		factory-method="getInstance">
		<constructor-arg>
			<props>
				<prop key="mail.smtp.auth">true</prop>
				<prop key="mail.smtp.socketFactory.port">465</prop>
				<prop key="mail.smtp.socketFactory.class">
					javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory
				</prop>
				<prop key="mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback">
					false
				</prop>
			</props>
		</constructor-arg>
		<constructor-arg ref="smtpAuthenticator" />
	</bean>

        <!-- and configure the MailSender with the authenticated session -->
	<bean id="mailSender"
		class="org.springframework.mail.javamail.JavaMailSenderImpl">
		<property name="host" value="smtp.gmail.com" />
		<property name="session" ref="mailSession" />
	</bean>

	<!-- this is a template message that we can pre-load with default state -->
	<bean id="templateMessage"
		class="org.springframework.mail.SimpleMailMessage">
		<property name="from" value="yourname@gmail.com" />
		<property name="subject" value="Testing" />
	</bean>

	<bean id="mailTest" class="forums.mailtest.MailTest">
		<constructor-arg ref="mailSender" />
		<constructor-arg ref="templateMessage" />
	</bean>
</beans>

You need your own Authenticator implementation, which could be something like this:

package forums.mailtest;

import javax.mail.Authenticator;
import javax.mail.PasswordAuthentication;

public class SmtpAuthenticator extends Authenticator {
	private String username;
	private String password;
	
	public SmtpAuthenticator(String username, String password) {
		super();
		this.username = username;
		this.password = password;
	}

	public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
                return new PasswordAuthentication(username, password);
	}
}

And here's the test class to send the actual message:

package forums.mailtest;

import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.mail.MailException;
import org.springframework.mail.MailSender;
import org.springframework.mail.SimpleMailMessage;

public class MailTest {
	private MailSender mailSender;
	private SimpleMailMessage templateMessage;
	public MailTest(MailSender mailSender, SimpleMailMessage templateMessage) {
		super();
		this.mailSender = mailSender;
		this.templateMessage = templateMessage;
	}
	
	public void sendMeMail() {
		SimpleMailMessage msg = new SimpleMailMessage(templateMessage);
		msg.setTo("test@example.com");
		msg.setText("This is a test.\nGo Spring!\n");
		try {
			this.mailSender.send(msg);
		} catch (MailException e) {
			System.err.println("Didn't work.");
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}
	
	public static final void main(String[] args) {
		ApplicationContext appCtx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(new String[] {
				"forums/mailtest/application-config.xml"
		});
		
		MailTest tester = (MailTest) appCtx.getBean("mailTest");
		tester.sendMeMail();
	}
}

Note that you should google for the connection settings for whatever mail server you're trying to use to send mail. For gmail, they're here:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/a...y?answer=13287

I think yahoo and gmail both want you to use authentication, and you may need to use a different port for each.

Wow dr_pompeii, we found some code that works? Lets just hope they don't change anything an it carries on working! Glad its sorted anyway!
