Possible EHLO faliure sending mail

Question

hi everyone and sorry if this is a repost,
I am writing a simple SMTP client using JavaMail 1.3.2 - after the TLS handshake it stops with the server response "220 Ready to start TLS". Its working fine for non-TLS servers. Am I missing a system component (this is on linux) or is it something else.
here's the mail part of the code ;
try
               Properties props = new Properties();
               props.put("mail.smtp.host",mailSrv1);
               props.put("mail.smtp.auth","true");
               props.put("mail.debug", "true");
               props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable","true");
               Session mailConnection = Session.getInstance(props,null);
               Message msge = new MimeMessage(mailConnection);
            Address fromAddr = new InternetAddress(user,from1);
               Address toAddr = new InternetAddress(to1);
               // Text part of mail
               MimeBodyPart mbp1 = new MimeBodyPart();
               mbp1.setText(msg1);
               // Attachment part of mail
               MimeBodyPart mbp2 = new MimeBodyPart();
               FileDataSource fds = new FileDataSource(filename);
               mbp2.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fds));
               mbp2.setFileName(fds.getName());
               // Create Multipart and add parts to it
               Multipart mp = new MimeMultipart();
               mp.addBodyPart(mbp1);
               mp.addBodyPart(mbp2);
               msge.setContent(mp);
             msge.setFrom(fromAddr);
             msge.setRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, toAddr);
             msge.setSubject(sub1);
              SMTPTransport t = (SMTPTransport)mailConnection.getTransport("smtp");
                try
                    t.connect(mailSrv1, user, pass);
                     t.sendMessage(msge, msge.getAllRecipients());
               finally
                  if (verbose)
                      System.out.println("Initial response = "+(rep = t.getLastServerResponse()));
                  t.close();
           catch(AuthenticationFailedException afe)
                  JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Invalid UserName/Password!","Failed",JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
                 error = true;
          catch(MessagingException me)
          catch(UnsupportedEncodingException uee)
          {}and here is the server response (debug)

Anyone can help me out here? I am using the gmai smtp server to accomplish this.

Clues...
The receiving email ports are:
IMAP is port 143
IMAP-SSL is port 993
POP is port 110
POP-SSL is port 995
SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.
Try ports other than 25.
