I have a problem with SMTP authentication - while using the JAVAMail in Session Bean.

The same code works fine when i run it as a java application.

I used (mail.smtp.auth,"ture") for the properties and trans.connect(host,user,password).

This works fine in a standalone applications.. but does not work when i use it in a session bean.

I am using WLS6.0, created a mail session from the console and did the JNDI look up in the bean class the part of the code is as follows:

Context ctx = new InitialContext();
Object a = ctx.lookup("pms");

javax.mail.Session b = (javax.mail.Session) a

mailProps.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
mailProps.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");

Session mailSes = iniSes.getInstance(mailProps, new SMTPAuth());
mailSes.setDebug(true);

Transport mailTrans = mailSes.getTransport("smtp");

mailTrans.connect(host,user,password);

mailTrans.send(message)

this is giving me authentication failure exception 550.
It works fine with a standalone application.
Can any one explain please.
