Authenticates but throws AuthenticationFailedException?!??!?

Question

I have got the following code used for sending a simple mail over a SMTP with Authentication connection.
        boolean debug = true;
        // 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");
        Authenticator passwordAuth = new SMTPAuthenticator(from,passFrom);
        Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
        session.setDebug(debug);
        Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtp");
        // Construct the message
        Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
        msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
        msg.setRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(to));
        msg.setSubject(subject);
        msg.setText(content);
        // Send the message
        transport.connect("hostname","loginame","password");
        //transport.connect();
        transport.send(msg);Now there comes the funny part:
DEBUG SMTP: connected to host "hostname", port: 25

Now, that's really crazy. Firstly it says: Authentication Succesful, then it says AuthenticationFailedException! w00t?

Thank you very much...
I didn't know that Transport.send creates its own connection! Thanks a lot!
