You need to get an NNTP provider, like
Knife's. You must manually create an instance of their NNTP
Transport object to send the message as well as specify the newsgroup to post to.
The following program does just that.
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
public class PutNewsExample {
public static void main (String args[]) throws Exception {
String host = args[0];
String from = args[1];
String newsgroup = args[2];
String username = args[3];
String password = args[4];
// Get session
Session session = Session.getInstance(
System.getProperties(), null);
// Define message
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
message.setSubject("Test Test - Ignore");
message.setText("Will this work?");
message.addHeader("Newsgroups", newsgroup);
// Define transport
Transport transport =
new dog.mail.nntp.NNTPTransport(session,
new URLName("news:" + newsgroup));
transport.connect(host, username, password);
transport.sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients());
transport.close();
}
}
