Hi all,
			

			

			I'm new to Javamail concept and i got the following exceptions  when i tried to send a simple mail.
			

			

			First exception is :
			

			using java Could not connect to SMTP host: smtp.gmail.com, port: 25;
			

			

			Second Exception is :
			

			java.net.SocketException: Software caused connection abort: connect
			

			

			i'm using Eudora as my mail client and its working fine.
			

			what could be the problem with port.
			

			

			Also,
			

			Does a mail client should necessarily exist on the local machine to send mail thru java?
			

			

			My code is like this:
			

			

			import java.util.Properties;
			

			import javax.mail.*;
			

			import javax.mail.internet.*;
			

			

			public class SendMail
			

			{
			

			public static void main(String[] args)
			

			{
			

			if(args.length!=3)
			

			{
			

			System.out.println("Usage: SendMail SMTPHost ToAddress FromAddress");
			

			System.exit(1);
			

			}
			

			

			String smtpHost = args[0];
			

			String to = args[1];
			

			String from = args[2];
			

			

			Properties props = System.getProperties();
			

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

			

			try{
			

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

			

			MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
			

			message.setText("Hi from the J2EE in 21 Days authors");
			

			message.setSubject("Hi!");
			

			message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
			

			message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(to));
			

			

			Transport.send(message);
			

			System.out.println("Message Sent");
			

			}
			

			catch(MessagingException me)
			

			{
			

			System.err.println("Messaging Exception : "+me.getMessage());
			

			}
			

			}
			

			}
			

			

			Please help me ............!
