Problem in sending mail with the given code

Question

package booodrive;
Some SMTP servers require a username and password authentication before you
can use their Server for Sending mail. This is most common with couple
of ISP's who provide SMTP Address to Send Mail.
This Program gives any example on how to do SMTP Authentication
(User and Password verification)
This is a free source code and is provided as it is without any warranties and
it can be used in any your code for free.

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
  To use this program, change values for the following three constants,
    SMTP_HOST_NAME -- Has your SMTP Host Name
    SMTP_AUTH_USER -- Has your SMTP Authentication UserName
    SMTP_AUTH_PWD  -- Has your SMTP Authentication Password
  Next change values for fields
  emailMsgTxt  -- Message Text for the Email
  emailSubjectTxt  -- Subject for email
  emailFromAddress -- Email Address whose name will appears as "from" address
  Next change value for "emailList".
  This String array has List of all Email Addresses to Email Email needs to be sent to.
  Next to run the program, execute it as follows,
  SendMailUsingAuthentication authProg = new SendMailUsingAuthentication();
public class SendMailUsingAuthentication
  private static final String SMTP_HOST_NAME = "sample.com";
  private static final String SMTP_AUTH_USER = "demo";
  private static final String SMTP_AUTH_PWD  = "demo";
  private static final String emailMsgTxt      = "Online Order Confirmation Message. Also include the Tracking Number.";
  private static final String emailSubjectTxt  = "Order Confirmation Subject";
  private static final String emailFromAddress = "[email protected]";
  // Add List of Email address to who email needs to be sent to
  private static final String[] emailList = {"[email protected]"};
  public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception
    SendMailUsingAuthentication smtpMailSender = new SendMailUsingAuthentication();
    smtpMailSender.postMail( emailList, emailSubjectTxt, emailMsgTxt, emailFromAddress);
    System.out.println("Sucessfully Sent mail to All Users");
  public void postMail( String recipients[ ], String subject,
                            String message , String from) throws MessagingException
    boolean debug = false;
     //Set the host smtp address
     Properties props = new Properties();
     props.put("mail.smtp.host", SMTP_HOST_NAME);
     props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
    Authenticator auth = new SMTPAuthenticator();
    Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, auth);
    session.setDebug(debug);
    // create a message
    Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
    // set the from and to address
    InternetAddress addressFrom = new InternetAddress(from);
    msg.setFrom(addressFrom);
    InternetAddress[] addressTo = new InternetAddress[recipients.length];
    for (int i = 0; i < recipients.length; i++)
        addressTo[i] = new InternetAddress(recipients);
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, addressTo);
// Setting the Subject and Content Type
msg.setSubject(subject);
msg.setContent(message, "text/plain");
Transport.send(msg);
* SimpleAuthenticator is used to do simple authentication
* when the SMTP server requires it.
private class SMTPAuthenticator extends javax.mail.Authenticator
public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication()
String username = SMTP_AUTH_USER;
String password = SMTP_AUTH_PWD;
return new PasswordAuthentication(username, password);
package booodrive;
public class Test {
     public static void main(String args[]){
          SendMailUsingAuthentication authProg = new SendMailUsingAuthentication();

Answer 1

Your first step is to diagnose the problem.
1. Does the code compile? If not, what error messages appear?
2. Does the code run? If not, what error messages appear? What's in the stack trace?
3. Does the code do what you expect it to do? If not, what are the differences?
