Java Mail: send a SINGLE email to a distribution list

Is it possible to send a single email to a distribution list using Java Mail?
Please help with some code samples.
Right now, our mail program uses java mail api to send one email/person in the distribution list and runs in a for loop. Is it possible to have the distribution list in the to field and just send one single email to all persons in the list?
Thanks,
Jayashree.

Yes, of course, assuming your mail server supports
distribution lists. Most mail servers do, but exactly
how you create and administer a mailing list varies
from server to server.
Once you've created the mailing list on the server,
just use the name of the list in the To field of the
message.

Leave mails send to specefic email adresses on the server?

I have several email adresses at my mail account, but for different users. I want Mail just to download my emails (send to my email adress) and leave the rest (send to other email adresses, but on same account) on the server.
In Windows Mail I could put up a rule for the program not to download mails send to specefic email adresses from the server, but this doesnt seem to be an option in the Mail on the Mac OS. Any solution for this?

Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access web mail, you need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
If your problem is with Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

Cannot email recreated dynamic distribution list NDR 5.1.1

We had an issue where we needed to change the location of the OU in a dynamic distribution groups that had moved from Exch 2003>2010>2013. We couldn't do it so we recreated a new distribution group with the same SMTP address. Now users
are getting 5.1.1 errors when trying to send an email to the distribution list.
Here is the error:
IMCEAEX-_o=Wa-Nee+20Community+20Schools_ou=First+20Administrative+20Group_cn=Recipients_cn=[email protected]
Remote Server returned '550 5.1.1 RESOLVER.ADR.ExRecipNotFound; not found'
I have found other posts that mention deleting the cached address in Outlook, but that has not solved my issue. Further reading leads me to believe it might have something to do with the legacy DN, but I don't know what to do to fix the issue.

I convered it to this: X500:/o=Wa-Nee Community Schools/ou=First Administrative Group/cn=Recipients/cn=[email protected] and added as an X500 address in the newly created dynamic dist group, but I am still getting the NDR.
IMCEAEX-_o=Wa-Nee+20Community+20Schools_ou=First+20Administrative+20Group_cn=Recipients_cn=[email protected] Remote Server returned '550 5.1.1 RESOLVER.ADR.ExRecipNotFound;
not found'
That OU (First Administrative Group) isn't an OU I am using. Is it possible that the legacy DN value is pointing to the old dynamic group location and I need to update to point to the new location of the distribution group?

How do I set up an email group (aka distribution list) on iPad Air

How do I set up an email group (aka distribution list) on iPad Air?

It wasn't clear what the diff was between the 2 versions. I got the impression, from some reviews, that the free version limited the number of groups you could have, or the number in each group. Anyway, after all the hours I've spent over the last few days trying work-arounds, it was well worth 4 bucks.

The exception is occurring when parsing the Content-Disposition header.
I don't see that header in the list of headers you provided.
Can you save the entire message to a text file using
msg.writeTo(new FileOutputStream("msg.txt"));
Then look for the Content-Disposition header in msg.txt. Most likely you'll
find that it is incorrectly formatted - as the exception says, there's a comma
in a place that a semicolon is expected.

How many people can I send a single email to

I used a smart group in Address Book to send a BCC email to using "Mail". I get a error message that says the recipients are not valid, but I know their addresses are. Im assuming that the # of recipients in the BCC field are too big. What is the capacity I can send?

Apple Mail probably has no limit, but in addition to any limits that may be set by your service provider, emails with very long lists of addresses (like hundreds or thousands) may be filtered as potential spam by some of your recipients' mail servers. If you are concerned about the number of recipients you can use a mailing list service like Constant Contact or Campaign Monitor that can help format emails so that they avoid tripping spam filters.
But if you are getting an error message about validity, it is probably not about a numerical limit. It is more likely to mean that one or more of the addresses is not formatted correctly, like a letter or symbol is mistyped in a contact record in Address Book.

Hi ,
COncurrent prorams is for Reports ?
if so try with solution.
write a unix script. or this purpose.
Something in the order of this should work. You get the idea.
1. Define printer styles
2. Define a printer driver to call script in the arguments field:
$ZZ_TOP/bin/email.sh $PROFILES$.FILENAME
$PROFILES$.USERNAME $PROFILES$.TITLE
3. Assign printer to the print styles and the driver
4. Register the e-mail printer
5. Default your report use the e-mail printer
# Example script email.sh
#!/bin/ksh
[email protected]
mailx -s "$3" $email_addr $1
exit 0
$1 is $PROFILE$.FILENAME
$2 is $PROFILES$.USERNAME
$3 is $PROFILES$.TITLE
try with this u will get some idea.
just let me know after you done it.

How to send a broadcast message to public distribution list?

I set up a Pulic distribution list in Unity system, but what extension number should I dial to send a publick distribution list? What is the public distribution list number?
Thanks for any input.

Log to Unity (press the Messages button and type your password). It will prompt you what is the button that you need to press to send a message (by default is 2), press that number, now it will prompt you to spell the name of the person or the distribution list. You can press ## (# key twice) to change to enter the extension.
If you go to the SAWEB and search for your Distribution List you will see that you can add and extension.
So by following the above instruction you can send a message by spelling the name of the DL or entering the extension of the DL.

It's "corrupted" because you are sending a text string and not a PDF document.
And that commented-out code that uses an ObjectOutputStream would have corrupted a PDF document anyway, if you had one.
I suggest if this problem is urgent then you hire professional programming help to get it done. You are a long way from a solution.

How to send a single email to all recipients at one time

Hi,
With JavaMail, is there any way to send an email to several recipients at once time
instead of calling Transport.send() one by one? You may state why not use
address like "[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]".
Because I want to have a single recipient address appeared on the "Address To"
field on email instead of showing all recipients addresses on the "Address To" field.
Thanks for your attention in advance,
Raymond

If you don't want all the recipients to see each other's addresses (and that's often what you do want), put that list into the BCC address and not the To address.

Mail Sender Adapter - Move email after picked up

Hello,
We are planning to connect SAP PI with the MS exchange server in order to get some email attachments and process them. We have find how we should configure the adapter to connect the exchange server (( [Sender Mail configuration|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/Helpdata/EN/23/c093409c663228e10000000a1550b0/content.htm] )) but we still have a doubt related with the message already processed.
In the adapter parameters there is one section regarding 'Delete message once read' + u2018Folder for deleted messageu2019 where the emails could be sent once processed. Is it possible to configure multiple folders based in the sender, receiver, subject of the email? What we would need is organize the processed emails based in simply rules.
How could we perform this behavior with the standard adapter for email?
Thanks & Regards,

I do not think PI would let you do that. How ever, once you move your read mail in to one of the folders on your Exchange server, you can configure rule there (on that mail box.. may be) so that based on sender/mail subject etc the messages can be distributed in to further folders.

Mail sending from WRONG EMAIL

Hi. I'm using 2 gmail accounts and when I send an email from one, the user receives from my other account. It doesn't happen all the time, and has only been happening recently. It's strange because after the 1st time, I started checking that drop down box that asks which email I want to send from, and it is set correctly. This even occurs sometimes when I reply to an email, which by default will send emails from the address that the email was sent to. Also, I know something is wrong because 1 email address has a signature that states the email address it came from, while the other email address has no signature at all. When I get replies to the email I sent, it shows my signature, but is replied to my other email address. Has anyone else run into this issue? Are there any solutions? It's quite frustrating.

The pulldown menu in the message composition window that selects account doesn't select the smtp server for that account, you have to go into Mail Prefs to ensure which smtp server is associated with which account.
Go to Mail Prefs, Accounts and select each gmail account one at a time and check the following: In the Account Info panel, check that the outgoing mail server (smtp) is the one you think it should be.
I'm assuming that gmail requires a username/password to send a message; the server for each account would be listed something like: smtp.gmail.com:username1 for the first account and smtp.gmail.com:username2 for the second gmail account.
If they're not what they should be, open the outgoing mail server (smtp) pulldown menu and either select the correct server or choose "edit server list" and fix it. Also consider clicking the "use only this server" checkbox for both accounts.
Hope this helps.
