550 Access denied - Invalid HELO name

问题:

I am using apace common mail API for sending html emails. following is my code.

public void sendHTMLMail(String to, String subject, String message , String from) throws EmailException
    {

          HtmlEmail email = new HtmlEmail();
          email.setHostName(SMTP_HOST_NAME);
          email.addTo(to);
          email.setFrom(from, "just-flick");
          email.setSubject(subject);
          email.setSmtpPort(25);
          email.setHtmlMsg(message);
          email.setTextMsg("Your email client does not support HTML messages");
          email.send();

    }

But while running the program I am getting following error.

I've faced the same problem, and when i pass the name of client host everything became ok i've add this line in my code:

props.put("mail.smtp.localhost", client or host name which connect to mail server);

Good Luck :)

This should be handled by the administrator of your mail server, not by you. Talk to whoever told you to connect to that mail server.

Maybe this will help:

email.getMailSession().getProperties().setProperty("mail.smtp.localhost", "www.example.com");

Of course replace www.example.com with the domain name of your host from where you send the mail.

However, as David Schwartz wrote, your mail configuration is not perfect either. Nowdays we do not submit mails to port 25. Port 587 is used for submission, which has more relaxed rules, although it may be necessary to authenticate yourself if your IP address is not white listed. Follow the link which was given by pst in his comment.

It is strange that JavaMail alone works, while Apache Commons Email does not, because I guess Commons Email also used JavaMail. This may indicate a bug somewhere but it would require further investigation.

One of your problem is that you do not know the exact HELO name you are sending. The following code may help to determine it, otherwise call your mail administrator (especially because he may advise you on port 587).

email.getMailSession().setDebug(true);
