Problem while sending a mail with smtp and ssl

Question

Hi all,
I am new to java mail . I have downloaded one java program to send the mail. I have configured smt and port address.And my System firewall is also in off mode
Still i am unable to send the mail
The following code is my program import java.util.Properties;
import javax.mail.Authenticator;
import javax.mail.Message;
import javax.mail.MessagingException;
import javax.mail.PasswordAuthentication;
import javax.mail.Session;
import javax.mail.Transport;
import javax.mail.URLName;
import javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress;
import javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage;
import com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPSSLTransport;
  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 = "smtp.mail.yahoo.com";
     private static final String SMTP_HOST_NAME = "smtp.gmail.com";
  private static final String SMTP_AUTH_USER = "admijn.ramd";
  private static final String SMTP_AUTH_PWD  = "hairamu";
  private static final int SMTP_PORT  = 465;
  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]", "[email protected]"};
  public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception
    SendMailUsingAuthentication smtpMailSender = new SendMailUsingAuthentication();
    smtpMailSender.postMail( emailList, emailSubjectTxt, emailMsgTxt, emailFromAddress);
  public void postMail( String recipients[ ], String subject,
                            String message , String from)
       try{
    boolean debug = false;
     //Set the host smtp address
//  Set the host smtp address
     Properties props = new Properties();
     props.put("mail.transport.protocol", "smtp");
     props.put("mail.smtp.port", SMTP_PORT);
     props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable","true");
     props.put("mail.smtp.host", SMTP_HOST_NAME);
     props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
      props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", SMTP_PORT);
     props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class", "javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory");
      props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback", "false");
      SecurityManager security = System.getSecurityManager();
     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.setText(message);
     msg.setSubject(subject);
     msg.setContent(message, "text/plain");
     Transport.send(msg);
     }catch (MessagingException e) {
          // TODO: handle exception
          e.printStackTrace();
* SimpleAuthenticator is used to do simple authentication
* when the SMTP server requires it.
private class SMTPAuthenticator extends javax.mail.Authenticator
public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication()
     try{
String username = SMTP_AUTH_USER;
String password = SMTP_AUTH_PWD;
System.out.println("username "+ username+" Password"+password);
return new PasswordAuthentication(username, password);
     }catch (Exception e) {
     return null;
And i am getting the following exceptions

Answer 1

hi neuro11
the following code is for sending mail its is working fine in my system, just change the
SMTP_AUTH_USER = "tina.numi"; with u r email user name
SMTP_AUTH_PWD = "abdcde"; u r gmail password
emailFromAddress = "[email protected]"; ur gmail addres
emailList = {"[email protected]"}; receipient list .
and u must sure that u r internet is on and firewall should be off . some times firewall restricts you to communicate with gmail port number
Please make u r firewall off and source code is
package com.FutureSoft.org.SendingMail;
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.
