hello all,
   i want to know how to send email using servlet program?can i view an email using servlets?

bye

Sonnu

You can do both with beans, and am pretty sure you can do the same with servlets.

Sun have an entire forum dedicated to Java Mail, I think you will find what you are looking for there:

http://forum.java.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=43

Here's a bean I use to send email from a Web App. It uses an email connection defined in Tomcat, but could include the code inline (I could probably find an example if needed.) The "to" address can contain a comma delimited list.

Hope it helps

I tried the method posted above, it was ok on my local machine but I couldnt get it to work reliably on my server so I used JavaxMail instead:

import java.io.*;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import javax.activation.*;

public class SendApp
{

    public static void send(String from, String to, String CC, String subject, String content)
    throws AddressException, MessagingException
    {
        String smtpHost = "127.0.0.1";
        int smtpPort = 25;


        // Create a mail session
        java.util.Properties props = new java.util.Properties();
        props.put("mail.smtp.host", smtpHost);
        props.put("mail.smtp.port", ""+smtpPort);
        props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");

        //If authentication is required on server you will need
        //the following line and an Authenticator class for it
        //to call
        Authenticator auth = new SimpleAuthenticator();

        Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, auth);

        // Construct the message
        Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
        msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
        msg.setRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(to));
        msg.setRecipient(Message.RecipientType.CC, new InternetAddress(CC));
        msg.setRecipient(Message.RecipientType.BCC, new InternetAddress(CC));
        msg.setSubject(subject);
        msg.setText(content);

        // Send the message
        Transport.send(msg);
    }

}
