Sendmail vs JavaMail

Hi,
I intend to start writing a mailing list / newsletter management system, but I'm having trouble deciding if I should use JavaMail to do the actual mailing or if I should connect to a MTA (mail server) to do the mailing. My MTA of choice would be Sendmail. Does anyone have any opinions on which would be more efficient? faster? reliable?
How would you approach things if you wanted to handle very large mailing lists (50 000 - 100 000 subscribers)? Could JavaMail handle it?
Does anyone know of any existing high quality, open source mailing list systems that I could just build a front end for? Something that uses a SQL database for storage would be preferable.
I'd really appreciate any suggestions anyone might have. I'll probably have to go run up my VISA card at O'Reilly's website too. Oh darn :-)

I am struggling to find an effective way to send email from my Unix/Servlet program.
I have seen many scripts on the web, both Java/Perl, both sendmail/SMTP with sockets.
Any implementation in Java fails.
I can only execute Java as a Servlet and the HTML page is returned, but no mail is sent.
Conversely, all my Perl scripts work fine.
One thing that has worked is Runtime.exec("..../cgi-bin/email.pl"); // but does Not work with args
My ancient (sometimes aggravating) environment is:
Unix, JDK1.1.7, ApacheJServ 1.1.1
I have no access to the Shell or the JServ logs, so debugging is quite difficult.
Often, I have used RandomAccessFile as a debugging log file.
JavaMail is not available, nor can I get the jar added to the classpath.
Some basics:
Does sendmail use SMTP sockets underneath ?
Using SMTP, is there some kind of authorization issue ? alias req'd ?
Does sendmail also require that you end the message body with a "." ? (No -is my guess)
Are there good ways to debug this ?
Is there a blocking issue, calling perl ? (Solution: use AutoFlush ? )
What is best Runtime.exec() System.exec() ?
How to best pass arguments ? If I started a new shell process (sh), I would use quoting rules.
I've seen the fancier style of Runtime.exec(String[] {"/usr/bin/sh", ".../my_perl.pl", "arg1"});
But I haven't gotten this to work yet.
joshman: I like the directory solution, because it sounds fairly clean (call shell script/ for each)
I could create 1file/Email with the Headers and Body, then loop thru. Maybe even have a Java thread kick off the script.
Is cron too much to ask for on my host ?
LordMJ: I asked on Google, but got no response. Is there a way I can pull out the classes from mail.jar and install them into JServ ? (in the correct packages, of course)
TIA for your suggestions

Configuring JavaMail with Sendmail

Hi there,
I create a simple standalone app that has the following method in it for sending emails:
String SMTPServerName = "smtp.someserver.com";
String addressTo = "[email protected]";
public boolean sendMail(String addressTo)
    try
       Properties props = System.getProperties();
       props.put("mail.smtp.host", SMTPServerName);
       session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
       MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(session);
       msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,
       InternetAddress.parse(addressTo, false));
       msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from_field.getText()));
       msg.setSubject(subject_field.getText());
       //msg.setText(message);
       if(plainText.isSelected())
          msg.setContent(textarea.getText(), "text/plain");
       else
          msg.setContent(textarea.getText(), "text/html");
       msg.setHeader("X-Mailer", mailer);
       msg.setSentDate(new Date());
       Transport.send(msg);
    catch (MessagingException e)
      //System.out.println("SMTPServerName: " + SMTPServerName);
      //response 421 just means the SMTP server was unavailable
      if(e.getMessage().indexOf("421") != -1)
         JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, "MessagingException - SMTP Server unavailable.", "Message", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
      else
         e.printStackTrace();
      return false;
    return true;
}This method works perfectly if the SMTPServerName is set for my ISP's smtp server. But since I have my own in-house server now which is running Linux, I thought to try and make use of its Sendmail server instead.
So, I need to know what I need to change in my method, if anything, in order to send out emails through Sendmail. For starters, I consulted a book I have on linux which explains how to configure Sendmail as a relay to send messages out. I made those changes and restarted Sendmail. So that end is set.
Since the server is part of my LAN on IP address: 192.168.2.119, In my client app (on a different Windows computer withing the LAN), I tried setting the SMTPServerName to the IP address of my server running Sendmail. Then proceeded to send myself an email. That didn't work. I know Sendmail is listening on port 25 so I tried 192.168.2.119:25 adding the port number, but that didn't work.
So, what is SMTPServerName supposed to be if I'm trying to connect to Sendmail to send out an email?
Is the method adequate for what I need it to do, or do I have to change it?
Alan

The mail.smtp.host property should be set to the DNS host name for your
mail server. If your mail server doesn't have a DNS host name, it's probably
going to run into other problems relay messages to other internet hosts.
Still, you should be able to set the property to the IP address of the server.
If that's still not working, read the JavaMail FAQ, which has many tips on
debugging such problems.

Error with OCI8 driver installing sendmail/javamail

Hi to All,
From Dos window I run the command:
loadjava -user sys/pwd@name_db -resolve -synonym activation.jar
This is the first step in order to install a Sendmail package based on javamail, but I have this error:
=============================
Java.exe error
Impossible to find the enterpoint kpufhndl0 of procedure in the library of dynamic link OCI.dll (Sorry, this is a translation of italian language)
OK
=============================
After I click on OK and this is the next response:
Error while connecting with OCI8 driver to namedb:oracle.aurora.server.tools.loadjava.ToolsException: The JDBC OCI8 Driver is not installed properly, use -thin to try the JDBC Thin Driver: C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\oradb10g\BIN\ocijdbc10.dll: Impossible to find the specified procedure.
exiting: could not open connection
After, I have used the command:
loadjava -thin C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\oradb10g\BIN\ocijdbc10.dll
This is the result:
SQL error while connecting with driver to default database: Listener refused the connection with the following error:
ORA-12505, TNS: listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor
The connection descriptor used by the client was:
localhost:1521: orcl
exiting: could not open connection
But the connection descriptor that I use is eg COSFI, not orcl.
Other applications works fine with my descriptor.
Someone can help me in order to resolve this problem ?
Thank You and Best Regards.

Gaetano,
I see you took my advice when I replied to your Error with OCI8 driver installing sendmail/javamail.
However, it doesn't look like you studied the Oracle documentation for loadjava because the command you posted doesn't look right at all.
Please refer to the Java Developer's Guide for the correct syntax and usage of the loadjava command.
Good Luck,
Avi.

JavaMail code bug or Solaris sendmail problem?

Hi all,
i write a java app to send out the email using SMTP sendmail.
I set the a list of emails (yahoo, gmail, hotmail, lotus notes etc) into BCC field only and left the To Field and CC Field empty.
Then i set the subject and the email content and send out the emails.
Here are the 2 scenarios happened based on different SMTP server:
1. using Ms Exchange Server
as expected, the email recepients see the To and CC field empty, and no other email addresses can be seen from the email. this behaviour is consistent for all email clients.
2. using solaris sendmail
using same java code, different behaviours encountered depended on the email clients:
a) using yahoo, gmail... all bcc list emails are displayed in To Field!!
b) using lotus note ...displayed 1 email address (get from BCC list) makes it look like a spam!
c) using hotmail and Ms Outlook 2003, no issue, To and CC field are empty, and no email addresses are exposed.
Can any java experts please advise what is actually happening here?
To be thorough, i will attach my java code that send out the email here :)
Thanks!!!!

Hi bshannon
Thanks for the reply :)
there was an accident happened that exposed the users' email addresses using the above java code and sendmail. that is, our code pull a list of users' email addresses, put it into BCC list, and left TO and CC list empty, and then send it using sendmail as SMTP
probably I didnt make myself clear :)
the most important thing now is to understand why the above scenario happen based on the above java code and sendmail SMTP. my head will be rolling down the road if I cant find any satisfy explanation ^_^"
any kind soul that can help to run/test the similar code as above in other SMTP servers (especially sendmail solaris smtp) will be highly regarded
Thanks!

If I try and send file as attachments from the tmp directory, then everything works ok, but if I try to send the same file from any other directory, then it doesn't work. Can anyone help? Is there something wrong with the code, I'm not aware of anything that would make it directory specfic. Permissions are the same on /tmp as the new directory /NRS/Data/SystemX which I'm trying to send the file from now.

well
if u see the end of ur mail it shows the attachment dir there in which u have specified the address..why don't u do a change there or better have some in parameteres in the procedure for it..that would help in choosing the attachment directory on users wish?
hope i am getting the problem right..if not kindly correct me in understanding the problem.
thanX.

Trying to send e-mail using JavaMail, JBoss 5, and JNDI

Hello there,
Am using JBoss 5.1.0GA and JDK 1.5.0_19 on OS X Leopard.
Created a working SendMailServlet.
Have now decided to refactor it into two separate classes (extract out JavaMail code to a separate class and create a ServletController).
Am also trying to use JNDI to access the connection properties in the mail-service.xml configuration file residing in JBoss.
The Mailer class contains the reusable functionality needed to send an e-mail:
public class Mailer {
     private Session mailSession;
     protected void sendMsg(String email, String subject, String body)
     throws MessagingException, NamingException {
          Properties props = new Properties();
          InitialContext ictx = new InitialContext(props);
          Session mailSession = (Session) ictx.lookup("java:/Mail");
//          Session mailSessoin = Session.getDefaultInstance(props);
          String username = (String) props.get("mail.smtps.user");
          String password = (String) props.get("mail.smtps.password");
          MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(mailSession);
          message.setSubject(subject);
          message.setRecipients(javax.mail.Message.RecipientType.TO,
                    javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress.parse(email, false));
          message.setText(body);
          message.saveChanges();
          Transport transport = mailSession.getTransport("smtps");
          try {
               transport.connect(username, password);
               transport.sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients());
               Logger.getLogger(this.getClass()).warn("Message sent");
          finally {
               transport.close();
}The MailController class serves as a standard Java Servlet which invokes the Mailer.class's sendMsg() method:
public class MailController extends HttpServlet {
     /** static final HTML setting for content type */
     private static final String HTML = "text/html";
     myapp/** static final HTML setting for content type */
     private static final String PLAIN = "text/plain";
     public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
     throws ServletException, IOException {
          doPost(request, response);
     public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
     throws ServletException, IOException {
          response.setContentType(PLAIN);
          PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
          String mailToken = TokenUtil.getEncryptedKey();
          String body = "Hello there, " + "\n\n"
                    + "Wanna play a game of golf?" + "\n\n"
                 + "Please confirm: https://localhost:8443/myapp/confirm?token="
                 + mailToken + "\n\n" + "-Golf USA";
          Mailer mailer = new Mailer();
          try {
               mailer.sendMsg("[email protected]", "Golf Invitation!", body);
               out.println("Message Sent");
          catch (MessagingException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          catch (NamingException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
}Have the mail configuration set under $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy/mail-service.xml:

Hi Peter,
Nice to hear from you again!
Per your advice, this is what my mail-service.xml config file looks like now:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<server>
<mbean code="org.jboss.mail.MailService" name="jboss:service=Mail">
<attribute name="JNDIName">java:/Mail</attribute>
<attribute name="User">user</attribute>
<attribute name="Password">password</attribute>
<attribute name="Configuration">
     <configuration>
        <property name="mail.store.protocol" value="pop3"/>
     <property name="mail.transport.protocol" value="smtps"/>
        <property name="mail.smtp.starttls.enable" value="true"/>
        <property name="mail.smtps.auth" value="true"/>
        <property name="mail.user" value="user"/>
        <property name="mail.pop3.host" value="pop3.gmail.com"/>
        <property name="mail.smtp.host" value="smtp.gmail.com"/>
        <property name="mail.smtps.port" value="465"/>
        <property name="mail.from" value="[email protected]"/>
        <property name="mail.debug" value="true"/>
     </configuration>
   </attribute>
   <depends>jboss:service=Naming</depends>
</mbean>
</server>Now, when I restart JBoss and point my browser to:
https://localhost:8443/myapp/sendmail
I get this exception:
[STDOUT] DEBUG SMTP: useEhlo true, useAuth true
[STDOUT] DEBUG SMTP: useEhlo true, useAuth true

Hi I have this problem which I believe you can help me resolve:
In my code, there are two lines:
message.setContent(messageBody, "text/html"); // this sets body of message
message.setContent(bodyPartObject); // this attaches a file
but it turns out that the second "setContent" statement over-writes the first one, so that I get no message in the body of the mail.
What can I do about it, shamik1? Thanks!

Sendmailjpkg.sendmail - 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay

Hi to all,
Oracle 10g database.
We have an application that sends emails (only with one email address), with sendmailjpkg.sendmail,
We've recently installed an exchange 2010 server, and in doing so we've changed the relevant DNS/MX records to point the to new IP address. I changed the new SMTP address in database (in sendmail Java class – props.setProperty (“mail.host”,”NEW SMTP IP”), ...) and everything was ok when we sent email to local domain users, but when database sent to external email users we get this error:
javax.mail.SendFailedException: *550 5.7.1 Unable to relay*
I know what is the problem is, exchange required full authenication to send emails outside the domain with JavaMail, attempt at stopping spam…
But I do not know how to create authenticator class, how to put authentications in sendmail Java class or in my procedure where I use sendmailjpkg.sendmail, or anywhere else ?
Thanks!

Isn't that a Java issue rather than a SQL or PL/SQL issue?

JavaMail send 9M pdf attach through Gmail

Hello Everyone,
I have this issue while trying to send email with attach (an pdf of 9M) . In the beginning I can see in the console that packets are sent really fast. Everything seem OK, but in time the speed decrease, Thus in about 10 minutes or more it barely sends anything. No errors whatsoever.
If I am sending smaller attachments (under 900K) they work fine, i receive them, open them...all is great.
I performed this test, sending the same content with the same attach directly from gmail web mail and it was uploaded in about 10 minutes- which i find it acceptable. Why does JavaMail take so long?
My application is a standalone app , a swing app. I tried sending the mail both from GUI's main thread and from a distinct thread. No big difference.
Anyone any idea? Someone hit this issue before?
Here is some code:
Properties props = new Properties();
          props.put("mail.smtp.user", userName);
props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
if(!"".equals(port))
props.put("mail.smtp.port", port);
//if(!"".equals(starttls))
//props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable",starttls);
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", auth);
if(debug)
props.put("mail.smtp.debug", "true");
else
props.put("mail.smtp.debug", "false");
          if(!"".equals(port))
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", port);
          if(!"".equals(socketFactoryClass))
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class",socketFactoryClass);
          //if(!"".equals(fallback))
//props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback", fallback);
try
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
session.setDebug(debug);
MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(session);
//msg.setText(text);
msg.setSubject(subject);
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress("[email protected]"));
for(int i=0;i<to.length;i++)
msg.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(to));
for(int i=0;i<cc.length;i++)
msg.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.CC, new InternetAddress(cc[i]));
for(int i=0;i<bcc.length;i++)
msg.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.BCC, new InternetAddress(bcc[i]));
// create the message part
MimeBodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
messageBodyPart.setText(text);
Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
DataSource source = new FileDataSource("f:/__BOOKS__/1000_Java_Tips_low.pdf");
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
messageBodyPart.setFileName("1000_Java_Tips_low.pdf");
messageBodyPart.setFileName(source.getName());
//messageBodyPart.attachFile("f:/__BOOKS__/J2EE JSF Tutorial.pdf");
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
msg.setContent(multipart);
msg.saveChanges();
Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtp");
transport.connect(host, userName, passWord);
transport.sendMessage(msg, msg.getAllRecipients());
transport.close();
return true;
Thanks and best regards,
Ionut.

Off course, i let the application run just to see it manage to send the mail. But after about an hour or more i get this error:

JavaMail NoClassDefFoundError

The following code complies OK but won't run. I get a ava.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: . What's my problem?
import java.util.Properties;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
public class SendMail {
public static void main (String[] args) throws Exception {
String host = "mail.xxxxx.com";
String from = "[email protected]";
Address address = new InternetAddress("[email protected]")
Properties props = System.getProperties();
props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,
address);
message.setSubject("Hello JavaMail");
message.setText("Welcome to JavaMail");
Transport.send(message);
}

Probably forgot to set the class path so it can find the javax.mail package. If it works when you compile, then make sure you got the same classpath when you run it. Then there should be no problem.

JavaMail, ESMTP, problem with this server response: "+ stunnel"

I need to send message through a STMP server I don't know much about. The server works fine, when using port 25. But I need to send mail through port 465. I've looked around the web, I've searched the forums, but found no solution.
I've identified, that the server uses some kind of strange "secure" connection. I was told, that is uses SSL, but when I use SMTPSSLTransport, it says the "Unrecognized SSL, plaintext connection?". So I am using the common Transport. This is my code:
            props.put("mail.transport.protocol","smtps");
            props.put("mail.smtp.host", smtpHost);
            props.put("mail.smtp.port", 465);
            props.put("mail.smtps.starttls.enable","true");
            props.put("mail.smtps.ssl", "true");
            props.put("mail.smtps.socketFactory.port", 465);
            props.put("mail.smtps.socketFactory.class", "javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory");
            Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props);
            session.setDebug(true);
            Transport transport = session.getTransport();
...I am getting this output:
DEBUG: setDebug: JavaMail version 1.4.1
DEBUG: getProvider() returning javax.mail.Provider[TRANSPORT,smtp,com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport,Sun Microsystems, Inc]

nested exception is:
        java.net.SocketException: Connection resetI have no idea, what a stunnel is, but it is causing the problem, I think.
Does anybody have any ideas what can be wrong? Or does anyone know how to check the server setting? Or what properties can I try to set? (I've tried all possible options of the properties I am already setting in the code).

You're getting newline (LF without the CR)? If so,
it's possible that Thunderbird isn't seeing that as
an end of line and so considers the "+stunnel" to
be part of the greeting line.
Either way, there's something messed up in the
server configuration and you really need to report
that to the server administrator.
Also, port 465 is supposed to be an SSL port,
starting in SSL mode, not starting in plain text
mode as you're seeing. Again, this is evidence
that the server is set up incorrectly.
JavaMail will support STARTTLS just fine, and it
won't care what port you're using, but that bogus
"+stunnel" line is a protocol violation that's
confusing it. Possibly Thunderbird is taking the
approach of "throw away garbage until I see
something I recognize", but JavaMail isn't working
that way.
If this was a server on the public internet that
lots of people might encounter, I might be inclined
to add a workaround to JavaMail. But since this is
a private server that's clearly configured incorrectly
and is clearly violating the protocol, I think the best
thing to do is to get the server fixed.

Sun's JavaMail package not working

I'm trying to implement interface to SendMail java package. On 8.1.7 database.
I'm following instructions on
http://www.akadia.com/services/java_mail_plsql.html
to the dot.
I got everything loaded and installed without errors.
But when I'm trying to test package, i'm not getting any errors and I'm not getting message either. Email just dissapears somewhere...
declare
errorstatus number;
errormessage varchar2(2000);
BEGIN
ErrorStatus := SendMailJPkg.SendMail(
SMTPServerName => 'qube.odl.com',
Sender => '[email protected]',
Recipient => '[email protected]',
CcRecipient => '',
BccRecipient => '',
Subject => 'This is the subject line: Test JavaMail',
Body => 'This is the body: Hello, this is a test' ||
SendMailJPkg.EOL || 'that spans 2 lines',
ErrorMessage => ErrorMessage,
Attachments => SendMailJPkg.ATTACHMENTS_LIST( '/usr/apps11/email/new_odl_logo.gif','/usr/apps11/email/odl_logo_small.gif' )
pl(errorstatus);
pl(errormessage);
END;
Is there any setup step for java or something else I'm missing?
Thanks

Vladimir,
No offence, but in the article you refer to, they did say that they only tested against an Oracle 9i database (and not an Oracle 8i database). I also didn't see anything in the article that says that the procedure they describe should work in Oracle 8i as well.
Apart from that, and excuse me if it is an obvious question, but can you send eMail from the machine where Oracle is running? For example, if the machine is a UNIX machine, can you use the "mail" (or "mailx") command to send eMail.
I recall working on a UNIX system that demonstrated the behaviour you are describing. When I tried to send eMail to an account that was outside of the UNIX box, I would get no error messages, but the eMail simply seemed to disappear. Perhaps you are experiencing the same problem?
[Unfortunately, I never resolved this issue, so even if it is your problem, I'm afraid I can't help you resolve it, anyway. Sorry :-( ]
Good Luck,
Avi.

Javamail deadlock : Please help

Please help me.
I have searched everywhere in this forum but I got no answer to my problem so I have decided to make a new post.
I have been getting this error for a 8days now. I am trying to send an email using Javamail API but Transport.send() and(or) Transport.sendMessage() leads to a deadlock. This is a web application. when the client submits a feedback we would like to send him an email confirmation. But then that page keep running forever. I have tried all but nothing works for me. The weird is that when I turn off tomcat the message is delivered.
Here is the code
public class MailUtil
public static void sendMail(String to, String from,
String subject, String body, boolean bodyIsHTML)
throws MessagingException
// 1 - get a mail session
//Properties props = new Properties();
Properties props = System.getProperties();
props.put("mail.transport.protocol", "smtp");
props.put("mail.smtp.host", smtpserver)
props.put("mail.smtp.port", 2525);
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.connectiontimeout","20000");
props.put("mail.smtp.timeout","40000");
props.put("mail.smtp.quitwait", "false");
// create some properties and get the default Session
Session session = Session.getInstance(props, new Authenticator() {
public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication(authemail, authpassword);
session.setDebug(true);
// 2 - create a message
Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
java.util.Date today=new java.util.Date();
message.setSentDate(today);
message.setSubject(subject);
if (bodyIsHTML)
message.setContent(body, "text/html");
else
message.setText(body);
// 3 - address the message
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
message.setRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(to));
// 4 - send the message
Transport.send(message);
this how I called it: MailUtil.sendMail(to, from, subject, body, isBodyHTML);
props.put("mail.smtp.connectiontimeout","20000");
props.put("mail.smtp.timeout","40000");
props.put("mail.smtp.quitwait", "false");
was just to see if the problem will be solved but no way
Please help me

I think that you've posted this to the wrong forum. I suggest you try the JavaMail forum: http://forum.java.sun.com/forum.jsp?forum=43

receipient it shoud be displayed in the message area....
is there any way to do this ........

well as said by my fellow poster googling could have given you quick results.
Anyways,if you are unable to do so checkout the below code snippet.
