Dear All,



I am sending a mail using SMTP protocol which is behaving irregularly.


It some time works and sometimes not.

It gives error as


class javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: localhost, port: 25;

nested exception is:

java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect

I m using Tomcat4/Servlet for it.

My code is



package com.irislogic.bsn.mail.activity;


import javax.mail.*;

import javax.mail.internet.*;

import java.util.*;


//application imports

import com.irislogic.bsn.mail.controldata.ServerData;

import com.irislogic.bsn.mail.controldata.MailData;

import com.irislogic.bsn.waf.exception.MailException;


public class SendMail {

public static void sendMail(ServerData serverData, MailData mailData) {
Properties props = System.getProperties();

// -- Attaching to default Session, or we could start a new one --
System.out.println(
"ip in send: " + serverData.getServerIPAddr().trim());
String smtpServer = serverData.getServerIPAddr().trim();

props.put("mail.smtp.host", smtpServer);

Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);

session.setDebug(true);
System.out.println("1");
// -- Create a new message --
Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
System.out.println("2");
// -- Set the FROM and TO fields --
//msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(mailData.getFrom()));
try {
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress("parag@bsil.com"));
System.out.println("3");
msg.setRecipients(
Message.RecipientType.TO,
InternetAddress.parse(mailData.getToAddress().trim(), false));
System.out.println("4");

// -- We could include CC recipients too --
// if (cc != null)
// msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.CC
// ,InternetAddress.parse(cc, false));

// -- Set the subject and body text --
msg.setSubject(mailData.getSubject().trim());
System.out.println("5");
msg.setText(mailData.getBody().trim());
System.out.println("6");
// -- Set some other header information --
msg.setHeader("X-Mailer", "LOTONtechEmail");
msg.setSentDate(new Date());
System.out.println("7: "+props.getProperty("mail.smtp.host"));
// -- Send the message --
Transport.send(msg);
//session.notifyAll();

System.out.println("Message sent OK.");

} catch (SendFailedException s) {
System.out.println("senderr: " + s.getMessage());
throw new MailException("Error in SendFailed");
} catch (MessagingException emsg) {
throw new MailException("Error in Message Sending");
}

}

}





The same code worked fine on dos prompt.On tomcat it is weird as sometime it works or else some time gives error as "Could not connect to SMTP host"
