hotmail isnt an SMTP mail server, its an HTTP mail server. You need to get
yourself an SMTP provider. Examples to look for are (i think) yahoo. Usually
any provider who offers POP access to your box will also provide an SMTP
server.

Subject: [j2ee] SMTP Host for Javamail Example


Hello,

I have setup all the required API needed for Javamail.
I am trying to use this example file below which successfully compiles but 
gives an error at runtime.

The example file: -

import java.util.*;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
/**
* usage: sendmessage to from smtphost multipart
*
73 Appendix B: Examples Using the JavaMail API
Example: Sending a Message
JavaMail API Design Specification August 1998
* Send a simple text/plain message to the "to"
* address, from the "from" address, using the
* smtphost as the machine with the smtp server
* running.
*
* if multipart is "true" send a multipart message
* else if multipart is "false" send a text/plain
* message.
*/
public class sendmessage {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		if (args.length != 4) {
			System.out.println("usage: sendmessage <to> <from> 
<smtphost>" + "<true|false>");
			System.exit(1);
		}

	boolean debug = false; // change to get more information
	String msgText = "A body.\nthe second line.";
	String msgText2 = "Another body.\nmore lines";
	boolean sendmultipart 
	Boolean.valueOf(args[3]).booleanValue();
// set the host

	Properties props = new Properties();
	props.put("mail.smtp.host", args[2]);
// create some properties and get the default Session
	
	Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
	session.setDebug(debug);
	
	try {
// create a message
		Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
// set the from
		InternetAddress from = new InternetAddress(args[1]);
		msg.setFrom(from);
		InternetAddress[] address = {new InternetAddress(args[0])};
		msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, address);
		msg.setSubject("JavaMail APIs Test");
		
		if (!sendmultipart) {
// send a plain text message
			msg.setContent(msgText, "text/plain");
		}
		else {
// send a multipart message 
// 74 Appendix B: Examples Using the JavaMail API
//Example: Sending a Message
// create and fill the first message part

			MimeBodyPart mbp1 = new MimeBodyPart();
			mbp1.setContent(msgText, "text/plain");

// create and fill the second message part

			MimeBodyPart mbp2 = new MimeBodyPart();
			mbp2.setContent(msgText2, "text/plain");

// create the Multipart and its parts to it

			Multipart mp = new MimeMultipart();
			mp.addBodyPart(mbp1);
			mp.addBodyPart(mbp2);

// add the Multipart to the message
			
			msg.setContent(mp);
		}

		Transport.send(msg);
	}
	catch (MessagingException mex) {
		mex.printStackTrace();
	}
	
	}
}

When I try to run this Application by passing arguments like :-

java sendmessage sanjayhatwal@h... sanjayhatwal@r... 
mc1.law13.hotmail.com false


It gives me the following Error : 
javax.mail.SendFailedExcaption : Sending Failed;
nested Exception is :
javax.mail.MessagingException : Could not connect to SMTP host: 
mc1.law13.hotmail.com, port 25;
nested Exception is :
java.net.ConnectionException: Operation timed out : connect
at javax.mail.Transport.send0(Transport.java:219)
at javax.mail.Transport.send(Transport.java:81)
at sendmessage.main(sendmessage.java:80)



I have used the ping command on NT for hotmail.com and the SMTP host it 
gave me a response saying (100% lost connection) but later it was alright 
but still got the same error.

Please anyone could give a solution for it.

Thank you,
Sanjay Hatwal
