Dear all,
I am about to implement a user feedback page, by using the smtp server of my university.
When I try to send a form, an error message is received as below:
Could not connect to SMTP host: smtp-auth.bris.ac.uk, port: 587
I tested with telnet this smtp address, along with the port number.
telnet smtp-auth.bris.ac.uk 587This works fine, I can connect to it. Besides, I configured an email client where I set up the right protocol TLS/STARTTLS, and I used my username/password. It is also working fine.
So, the problem might be with my embedded Java code in JSP.
First of all, I tested my web server to send a test email in JSP without SMTP authentication. This works fine.
But, I am not able to find out what is wrong/missing in my code below to send successfully messages with authentication.
Please have a look at it, and any recommendation is welcome!

Authenticator auth = new javax.mail.Authenticator() {
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication(){
return new PasswordAuthentication("myUsername", "myPassword");
}
};
Session s = Session.getInstance(props,auth);
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(s);
InternetAddress from = new InternetAddress("myFriendAddress");
message.setFrom(from);
InternetAddress to = new InternetAddress("myAddress");
message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, to);
message.setSubject("Test from JavaMail.");
message.setText("Hello from JavaMail!");
message.saveChanges();
Transport transport = s.getTransport("smtp");
transport.connect("smtp-auth.bris.ac.uk","myUsername","myPassword");
transport.sendMessage(message,message.getAllRecipients());
transport.close();Thank you very much, in advance.
