I need help modifying a servlet to send email using a smtp home base internet connection,,(Sympatico)
with a username and password... and server name (smtp)obtain the name of the 'Sympatico' smtp server and use it as your SMTP_SERVER, you can't use localhost because I guess you don't have a smtp server at home....
This is my servletNo, thats not a servlet.
I can't comment on the code because you have not enclosed your code in code tags, like this {code}your code hereThanks!
