There are many different ways:

• You can speak SMTP directly
• You can use the non-standard sun.net.smtp.SmtpClient class
• You can use the JavaMail API

Keep in mind though that the SMTP server to use must be the same as the web server. If that is not the case, you would need to create something like a servlet on the web server that used one of the three options listed.
