How to send Secured Mail using Java Mail?

I want to send mails with "Send Secure" option using Java Mail. Now mails are being sent using Java Mail connecting to smtp host.
Appreciating your help.
Thanks.

There are third party libraries to help with this. Bouncy Castle is very popular.

How to send html messages using unix mail ?

Hi,
I'm wondering if it's possible to send html formated mail using Unix mail command ?
Regards,
Didier.

It works fine for me right out of the box; I've done zero to configure anything. In my case, I presume the HTML is encoded in a file. Then I invoke a script which adds the following mail headers before the HTML, then calls sendmail:
<pre class=command>MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
To: $address
From: $MY_EMAIL
Subject: File: $subject
</pre>
In the header, variables $address, $MY_EMAIL, and $subject are filled in by the shell script.

In my application,we already implemented it so we cant go for javamail.That does not make sense. Your 'implementation' does not work so you have not yet fully 'implemented' it. Using Javamail takes about 4 lines of code to do what you have done so far and it will work.
Please suggest me regarding this,so that I can go ahead and resolve it.Use the Javamail API.

Im new to java mail...
Can anybody give me a detailed examples for
1. forwarding a mail
2. Replying to mail
from javamail?

Detailed? Not necessary. You have to create a new message and send it, that's all. Note that the Message has a reply() method that helps you to do that.

Problems in Sending mails using java mail

hi all,
heres my piece of code-
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.mail.Authenticator;
import javax.mail.PasswordAuthentication;
public class SendEmail
 public static void main(String[] args)
System.out.println(args.length);
 if (args.length != 6)
 System.out.println("usage: sendmessage <to> <from> <smtphost> <true|false> <subject> <text>");
 System.exit(1);System.out.println("jj"+args.length);
 SendEmail m=new SendEmail();
 m.SendMessage(args[0],args[1], args[2], args[3], args[4], args[5]);
public static String SendMessage(String emailto, String emailfrom, String smtphost, String emailmultipart, String msgSubject, String msgText)
 boolean debug = false; // change to get more information
String msgText2 = "multipart message";
boolean sendmultipart = Boolean.valueOf(emailmultipart).booleanValue();
// set the host
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.host",smtphost);
 props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable","true");
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.sendpartial", "true");
Authenticator loAuthenticator = new SMTPAuthenticator();
System.out.println("f");
// create some properties and get the default Session
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, loAuthenticator );
session.setDebug(debug);
System.out.println("ff");
//System.out.println( loAuthenticator);
try
// create a message
Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
// set the from
InternetAddress from = new InternetAddress(emailfrom);
msg.setFrom(from);
InternetAddress[] address =
new InternetAddress(emailto)
//InternetAddress ad=new InternetAddress(session);
//System.out.println(ad.getLocalAddress());
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, address);
msg.setSubject(msgSubject);
if(!sendmultipart)
// send a plain text message
msg.setContent(msgText, "text/plain");
else
// send a multipart 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 transport = session.getTransport("smtp");
 transport.connect(smtphost,"[email protected]","xyz");
msg.saveChanges();
 //transport.sendMessage(msg,msg.getAllRecipients());
transport.sendMessage(msg,msg.getAllRecipients());
transport.close();
catch(MessagingException mex)
mex.printStackTrace();
return "Email sent to " + emailto;
class SMTPAuthenticator extends Authenticator
public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication()
String username = "[email protected]";
String password = "xyz";
return new PasswordAuthentication(username, password);
i get the following errors-
SmtpSendFailedException:550 Invalid Recipient
Sometimes the mail gets send but sometimes it doesnt (while sending it to yahoo)..
i guess there is some firewall problem..
can somebody help me please.
thanks

Hello. I don't know if this will help you much but just reading the posts there might be something wrong with the information that is being sent to your SMTP host. You might make sure that the string that you are sending doesn't have extra characters attached to it or that a timeout is not occuring during the transfer of your username/password information. Sometimes the '@' gets translated into something else.
A 550 error usually indicates that the mail server didn't recived a valid user on the system, this came into play I believe when people start abusing SMTP to SPAM a server using everything under the sun...so filters were put in place i.e. If you are not a Qualified Domain Name registered mailserver and someone has a filter in place your message will go kersplat because forwarding is no longer being allowed. Yopu might try a diffrent tactic.
1. you might trim your strings.
2. build strings in a connect method so that its a bit less amateur code.
public void connect() {
 // Display connect dialog.
 ConnectDialog dialog = new ConnectDialog(this);
 dialog.show();
 // Build connection URL from connect dialog settings.
 StringBuffer connectionUrl = new StringBuffer();
 connectionUrl.append(dialog.getType() + "://");
 connectionUrl.append(dialog.getUsername() + ":");
 connectionUrl.append(dialog.getPassword() + "@");
 connectionUrl.append(dialog.getServer() + "/");3. Make absolutely certain that the SMTP server you are sending from is registered and qualified in your code. Meaning you can't use a bogus MTA(mail trasport agent) or you get bounced.
 private void sendMessage(int type, Message message) {
 // Display message dialog to get message values.
 MessageDialog dialog;
 try {
 dialog = new MessageDialog(this, type, message);
 if (!dialog.display()) {
 // Return if dialog was cancelled.
 return;
 } catch (Exception e) {
 showError("Unable to send message.", false);
 return;
 try {
 // Create a new message with values from dialog.
 Message newMessage = new MimeMessage(session);
 newMessage.setFrom(new InternetAddress(dialog.getFrom()));
 newMessage.setRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,
 new InternetAddress(dialog.getTo()));
 newMessage.setSubject(dialog.getSubject());
 newMessage.setSentDate(new Date());
 newMessage.setText(dialog.getContent());
 // Send new message.
 Transport.send(newMessage);
 } catch (Exception e) {
 showError("Unable to send message.", false);
 }Lastly, if you are writing a SPAM client, you should go to your dos prompt and type format c: (j/k)
now the disclaimer. The code published is not mine it was a piece of an example that I got from a brillient book by Herbert Schildt and James Holmes who I would love to be able to chat with since the work they do is absolutely perfect. You might check it out from your Local Library the ISBN is 0-07-222971-3 they have a whole section just on JavaMail.
Well hope that gets you started in the right direction, I would read the ISO standards published for SMTP, you might get a better grip on the error codes that are bound to come up.

Hi,
you need your smtp host address and smtp user name and password to send emails out.
and yes the user name and password are the smtp username and password for authentication
