Some times you need to send an email from your java application through a SMTP server. here is how you can do it simply using JavaMail API:
1- Instantiate properties object, that contains the host name and authentication.
2- Instantiate Java Mail Session.
3- Create and fill you message.
4- Get Java Mail Transporter.
5- Connect the Transporter.
6- Send the message by the Transporter.
and here is the code:
/* create properties object */
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.setProperty(“mail.smtp.host”, “smtp.mailserver.com”);
properties.setProperty(“mail.smtp.auth”, “true”);
/* get session */
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(properties, null);
/* create and fill the message */
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
try {
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(“sender@company.com”));
message.addRecipient(RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(“user@company.com”));
message.addRecipient(RecipientType.CC, new InternetAddress(“user@mail.com”));
message.setSubject(“testing java mail again and again!!!”);
message.setText(“Salam there, \nThis is a test from java mail”);
/* get transport */
Transport transport = session.getTransport(“smtp”);
/* connect to smtp server */
transport.connect(“smtp.mailserver.com”, “username”, “password”);
/* send the message to the recipients */
transport.sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients());
System.out.println(“message sent successfuly”);
} catch (AddressException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (MessagingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
and enjoy sending mails from you application
