Trouble sending SMTP AUTH

I am having difficulty sending mail to an smtp server that requires authentication.
The mail messages are valid so I snipped only the connection code:
        boolean DEBUG = true;
        Properties p = new Properties();
        p.put("mail.smtp.host", "mail._myhost.com");
        javax.mail.Session s = javax.mail.Session.getDefaultInstance(p, null);
        s.setPasswordAuthentication(
                new URLName("mail._myhost.com"),
                new PasswordAuthentication("_myuser","_mypass")
        s.setDebug(DEBUG);
myhost, myuser, and _mypass are all valid.
The smtp server is James 2.1.2 from apache/jakarta and this option works without authentication on a test mail server. There is no option is changing authentication on the intended server (obviously).
The exception I get is:
javax.mail.SendFailedException: Sending failed; nested exception is: javax.mail.SendFailedException: Invalid Addresses; nested exception is:
javax.mail.SendFailedException: 530 Authentication Required
I would appreciate any help anyone may give me in correcting my code or pointing to where I may start looking for an answer.
Thank you in advance for your help if you have any experience that may aid me in finding a solution.

Bump.
I can confirm AUTH working with perl libraries.
Is javamail as buggy as some are claiming? I have not had problems up to this point and I am stumped with smtp AUTH.
Thanks for your help.

Server to server smtp auth

Hello,
I have a Messaging 6.x (JES 2005Q4 version) installation. All outbound email must go
through an external MTA so I added a smartrelay (daemon in tcp_local channel) and all works ok but the external MTA requires authentication so the question is:
how can I configure to send SMTP AUTH to the smartrelay?

IPhone 5 cannot send SMTP email over wifi

I am having trouble sending smtp email using port 587 over wifi, when the device has wifi off it sends just fine. The same issue occurs with my iPad as well. Issue occurs on multiple wifi connections. when i use a iPhone4 it connects and sends just find over wifi. Is this a known issue with 6.1 or iPhone 5 in general? the issue started about 2 months ago for both devices and there were no changes made to wifi network.

If your connecting from outside your mail server network you might need to authenticate
Check your smtp settings
Have a look at your mail setting and compare to the device that's working

i'm using netbeans6.1 with glassfishv2

If you turn on session debugging, you'll get a clue as to what you're
doing wrong, but I'll save you the trouble. Your error is here:
props.put("mail.smtp.auth",true);That should be:
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
BTW, you don't need all that socket factory stuff. See the JavaMail FAQ for a
simpler approach.

AuthenticationFailedException when using JNDI and JavaMail with SMTP auth

Hi all - I've been banging my head on this one for awhile now - hopefully someone else has done this.
We are working in a servlet container (tomcat), and need obtain a mail session from JNDI. We do this as follows:
 Context initCtx = new InitialContext();
 Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env");
 Session mailSession=(Session) envCtx.lookup("mailSession/trumpetinc");so far so good. The jndi entry for the mail session is configured in server.xml as follows:
 <Resource name="mailSession/trumpetinc" scope="Shareable" type="javax.mail.Session"/>
 <ResourceParams name="mailSession/trumpetinc">
 <parameter>
 <name>mail.smtp.host</name>
 <value>mail.server.com</value>
 </parameter>
 <parameter>
 <name>mail.smtp.password</name>
 <value>ABCDEFG</value>
 </parameter>
 <parameter>
 <name>mail.smtp.user</name>
 <value>trumpet_kevin</value>
 </parameter>
 <parameter>
 <name>mail.smtp.auth</name>
 <value>true</value>
 </parameter>
 </ResourceParams>With the above, whenever we hit Transport.send(msg), we got an AuthenticationFailedException thrown. I have run into this before with SMTP authentication, so I decided to try using the transport.sendMessage() method instead.
So, I get the transport:
Transport trans = mailSession.getTransport("smtp");
trans.connect();Then I send my message using:
msg.saveChanges();
trans.sendMessage(msg, msg.getAllRecipients());and finally, I close the transport:
trans.close();Unfortunately, I'm still getting the exception. Is it possible that my connect() method is not picking up the JNDI properties set in the server.xml file (this seems likely)? If so, what's the best way for me to get those properties so I can set them explicitly in the connect() method?
Thanks in advance,
- Kevin

Hi,
I have faced the same problem and after some googling and trying I have discovered what causes the AuthenticationFailedException exception. I just wanted to share the knowedge maybe it will be helpfull to others.
Here it is what the API says:
To use SMTP authentication you'll need to set the mail.smtp.auth property (see below) and provide the SMTP Transport with a username and password when connecting to the SMTP server. You can do this using one of the following approaches:
1.Provide an Authenticator object when creating your mail Session and provide the username and password information during the Authenticator callback.
Note that the mail.smtp.user property can be set to provide a default username for the callback, but the password will still need to be supplied explicitly.
This approach allows you to use the static Transport send method to send messages.
2.Call the Transport connect method explicitly with username and password arguments.
This approach requires you to explicitly manage a Transport object and use the Transport sendMessage method to send the message. The transport.java demo program demonstrates how to manage a Transport object. The following is roughly equivalent to the static Transport send method, but supplies the needed username and password:
Using the Transport.connect makes the JNDI not very helpfull for configuration.
It seems that using just the mail.smtp.user and mail.smtp.pass is not sufficient for the authentication.
so, the solution is :
just place these to lines in the JNDI configuration:
 username="test"
 password="test1"
so it should looks as follows:
 <Resource name="mail/Session" auth="Container"
 type="javax.mail.Session"
 username="test"
 password="test1"
 mail.transport.protocol="smtp"
 mail.smtp.auth="true"
 mail.smtp.host="localhost"
 mail.smtp.port="25"
 mail.smtp.user="test"
 mail.smtp.password="test1"
/>
where test and test1 are the user's credentials

SMTP-auth via mailx results in service unavailable

Why do my attempts to use mailx with Gandi SMTP fail with 'Service unavailable'?

http://www.spamhaus.org says:
Mail servers only run spam filters such as Spamhaus PBL on port 25, so if you find you are being blocked by the PBL when you try to send mail to your mail server that means you are not communicating with the mail server on the 'authenticated' port 587 but you're still on port 25. This means your 'SMTP Authentication' is not working correctly.
http://wiki.gandi.net/en/mail/standard-settings#smtp-account says:
SMTP Account
Name server : mail.gandi.net
Port : 25, 465 (with SSL) or 587 (try one or the other)
TLS or SSL: yes
SMTP Authentication : yes, using the same settings as for the POP / IMAP account
I was trying to use the same settings I have used for several years with Thunderbird and Apple Mail, ie SSL on port 465.
Is there something wrong with my settings which could be preventing mailx from using port 465?
A few debug tips would be appreciated.
Your link causes me to ask: Does the mailx on Leopard support SMTP directly?

Exchange 2010 Receive Connector intermittently getting an SMTP RSET from sending SMTP servers causing missing user email

Users are receiving about 95% of their messages from sending SMTP servers. Intermittently, sending SMTP servers send the Exchange 2010 Server a SMTP RSET command for no apparent reason. The RSET Command (by SMTP specification) causes the Exchange 2010 Server
to drop the message. The sending SMTP servers then do not resend the message after asking the Exchange server to drop the message. This means the message is marked as Sent by the sending servers but the dropped messages never show up in the users' Outlook
inbox.

Hi,
According to the receive connector log, your emails were failed to be deliverd with DNR. If I misudnerstand the meaning, please feel free to let me know. If yes, I'd like to confirm the detail information in the DNR to narrow down the
cause.
Additionally, based on my research, the RSET command performs an SMTP reset, and then aborts the message that is currently being sent. Thus, the log didn't provide more information for troubleshooting. Is there any other error in your event log? please check
the event log when the issue happens again.
Thanks,

OS X's Mail app and SMTP auth

We're having a problem with OS X's Mail app connecting to Tiger Server's mail server. We have the server set up to not always require SMTP auth (all SMTP auth settings unchecked in Settings > Advanced > Security), and to allow relay from only a given set of networks (Settings > Relay). In theory, this means that if you're on one of the specified networks, you're not required to authenticate, otherwise you are. This according to Apple's documentation.
From a bit of packet sniffing, it looks like:
1. If a user on an allowed network tries to send mail through the server, the server does not return authorization as an option.
2. If the user has password authentication specified in Mail's SMTP Server settings, it refuses to send. If they set SMTP auth to None, the Mail app will send.
IOW, Mail doesn't send if Authorization is enabled in the Mail app, but not given as an option by the mail server. Has anyone else seen this? Is this a bug in Mail or Postfix?

If you have networks entered in
'Accept SMTP relay only from these hosts and
networks'
Clients on these networks don't need to authenticate
for local delivery or relay.
So it does what you are looking for.

Well, goddarn it - so it does!
I was testing various permutation (10.3.4) just recently and it just wouldn't relay without auth if any of them was selected (honest!). That was with the trusted relay....
...but I just tried it again and it's fine!
I had put it down to just another 'glitch' in the documentation.
Oh well - glad you were there to point it out Jeff!
Whilst we are on the subject - do you know of any way to tie authentication (outwith trusted network) to specified users? I was thinking there might be a Postfix parameter for this (sorry, I should just look them all up but maybe someone knows it already)?
Thank, and sorry for any earlier confusion!

Pop before smtp and smtp auth

Hi Jay,
hope all is well with you.
what is pop before smtp and how to see if it is enabled?
what is smtp auth and how to see if it is enabled? Is it enabled by default on MS 6.x?
what happens if smtp auth is not enabled? Will my mail server be a relay?
Is there any additional configuration that should be done on messaging server to allow connection for dial-up users?
thanks,

Hi Jay,
hope all is well with you.
what is pop before smtp and how to see if it is
enabled?Pop before SMTP is a very old, and little used method for "authenticating" users. There is virtually no reason to turn this on, anymore.
It's done through the MMP, and is the only reason to actually use the SMTP proxy that's part of MMP.
I would not go there unless your environment requires it. Most do not. Most clients support SMTP authentication, which is much better, and is on by default.
>

it enabled by default on MS 6.x?See above. Yes, smtp authentication is on by default.
>
what happens if smtp auth is not enabled? Will my
mail server be a relay?Totally different issue.
No.
If smtp auth is off, if you have external users, they likely will not be allowed to send to other external users..
>
Is there any additional configuration that should be
done on messaging server to allow connection for
dial-up users?If "dial-up users" means that they come from ip addresses outside your network, then smtp auth will allow them full access.
thanks,

Any other Cox users having trouble sending?

Was just wondering if any other cox communications email users are having trouble sending email when using 3G? When I'm home and connected to my wifi, it's fine. but as soon as I leave the house and try to send from my cox accounts, it tells me the sender's address is invalid, even though it's not. it does this for everyone...not just one recipient.

Cox is one of the ISPs which blocks the outgoing port 25 outside of their network.
On your iPhone, go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars> Your email account.
Tap on SMTP.
On the next screen you should see a list of secondary servers.
Tap on AT&T SMTP server.
Turn the Server ON.
Go back out and you should be able to connect when away from your home network.

DIsable smtp auth only for an ip

Dear gurus,
I have sun messaging server 6 running perfectly alright and only new thing which I would like to incorporate is to disable smtp auth only for one ip address.I am new to this system and have gathered following information from sun messaging docs, the steps which I followed..
1) Create a table DISABLE_SMTPAUTH_IP similar to INTERNAL_IP mapping table in mapping file
INTERNAL_IP
10.18.18.19 $Y
10.18.18.38 $Y
10.18.18.30 $Y
127.0.0.1 $Y
* $N
! Added on 01092008 for disabling smtp_auth
DISABLE_SMTPAUTH_IP
external.ip.addres $Y
*$N
2) ALLOW PORT ACCESS
*PORT_ACCESS
*|*|*|*|* $C$|DISABLE_SMTPAUTH_IP;$3|$Y$E
*|*|*|*|* $C$|INTERNAL_IP;$3|$Y$E
3) Then right after the current rewrite rule in imta.cnf file Created new TCP CHANNEL
! Do mapping lookup for internal IP addresses
[] $E$R${INTERNAL_IP,$L}$U%[$L]@tcp_intranet-daemon
added a new rewrite rule:
! Do mapping lookup for "no smtp auth", non-internal IP addresses
[] $E$R${DISABLE_SMTPAUTH_IP,$L}$U%[$L]@tcp_nosmtpauth-daemon
! ttcp_nosmtpauth-daemon
tcp_nosmtpauth-daemon smtp mx single_sys subdirs 20 maxjobs 7 pool SMTP_POOL nosasl nosaslserver

run /opt/SUNWmsgr/sbin/imsimta refresh
alternatively tried imsimta cnbuild and imsimta restart
but still i get Mail rely denied when I try sending messages from the same trusted IP without doing AUTH.
I would like to know...
1) If there is something mising or wrong in above steps
2) HOw do i check if the messages from that IP(for which smtp auth is disabled) is passing from the tcp_nosmtpauth channel...
THanks for giving your valuable time...

thanks very much shane for giving time...
Please always provide the exact version of Messaging Server (./imsimta version).
mumxxxx1 # ./imsimta version

mumxxxx1#
Why would you want to disable SMTP Authentication? What are you attempting to achieve by doing this -- what is the problem you are trying to solve?
We are an ISP and therefore sometimes required to send bulk mail, for which we are currently using perl bulk mail module script and there we specify the users in text file to send message, everytime this module try sending it get Mail Relaying denied as it doesnot supply user and passwd required for smtp auth in base64.
Therefore I wanted to disable smtp auth for an ip address using which smtp auth is not reqauired and mails should be openly relayed.
Why are all of the above entries commented out? Did you intend to disable (break) the tcp_intranet channel?
no it is not commented in config files.
+./imsimta refresh is no longer a valid comment, you need to use ./imsimta cnbuild;./imsimta restart+
as per sun mesaging server 6 admin guide it is given to be working. Alterntively I tried ./imsimta cnbuild;./imsimta restart.
Please provide the mail.log_current line that matches the attempted email delivery which was rejected.

Also please clarify if you want to disable the ability to perform SMTP auth or whether you want to allow email to be sent without requiring SMTP auth -- these are two completely different objectives.
No I do not want to disable SMTP auth for everyone.DEfault is it should be forced to all except from one ip. ie disable smtp auth only for an ip address.

Smtp auth - relay

Hi!
We are running GWIA novell-groupwise-gwia-12.0.1-103731.
Relaying is denied in the GWIA-settings.
We tested the GWIA behavior.
If we do an SMTP-Auth against the GWIA and the authentication is
successful, relaying is allowed.
In the GWIA "Access-Control Settings" -> "Default Class of service"
there is "Prevent outgoing messages" defined in the "SMTP Outgoing" section.
It seems, that it has no effect, what is defined in the Access Control
Settings; Gwia will always allow relaying, if the user is authenticated
against the GWIA.
Does this work as designed, or do we have a chance that we will allow
only specified users to relay, if they are authenticated?
thanks in advance
Wolfgang

That's a bad idea, and should result in nobody using groupwise
internally being able to send email out. You can't remove restrictions
in the default class of service with more specific classes.

Correct. The class of service restrcitions only apply to *internal*
users, e.g everything that come from or goes to groupwise. relaying
happens totally on the SMTP side of GWIA only, and there's no restrictions.

Unfortunately not.

I am having trouble sending emails

I am having trouble sending messages..this is what I receive as a response:
5.7.0 Np STARTTLS command has been given.....
Can anyone explain ?

Hello, what kind of account is this?
It's saying that a Secure login & Authetication is needed.
Outgoing ports are...
SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.
Can you login in a Browser & use WebMail OK?

External SMTP Auth

Hi folks.
My iPod is not happy. She (he?) can't send mail from outside. I have an IMAP account that I use on my LAN server for my domains. When I go out, I can't send mail.
Now, port 465 is apparently used for SSL SMTP, but that isn't open on the server. My router has SMTP Mail open.
What I want to do, I forget the name of. I think it's SMTP Auth, and using a port above what routers would normally close off. So I'd like to use port 3500 or something like that. How do I do that, while using Kerberos or MD5 for sending mail from outside?
Cheers

I'd confirm that your ISP is (or is not) blocking inbound port 25; if the server here is connected into the ISP via a residential-grade service tier, then port 25 and port 80 blocks in-bound are fairly common. That is, confirm whether the connectivity problems here are between the ISP and the server, or at the pub.
As for your own network perimeter, most consumer-grade routers are pretty weak, while those router-firewalls with VPN and port-forwarding aren't that much more expensive. And there are open-source firewalls around. And using a VPN into the firewall is a pretty good solution for many reasons.
Various organizations that offer wireless do block port 25 outbound and sometimes other specific outbound ports to reduce the spread of malware, or the network loading that can result from torrents. Few organizations block outbound VPNs or webmail (port 80 or port 443) connections.
