I'm trying to send an email using my java application, but it always gives me a connection error back. So my code looks like this:
import java.util.*;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import javax.activation.*;
public class SendMail {
public static void main(String [] args) {
String to = "something@gmail.com";
String from = "fromsomeone@gmail.com";
String host = "localhost";
Properties properties = System.getProperties();
properties.setProperty("mail.user", "fromsomeone");
properties.setProperty("mail.password", "passwordForSomeone");
properties.setProperty("mail.smtp.host", host);
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(properties);
try {
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(to));
message.setSubject("subject typed");
message.setText("This is actual message which is just some lines");
Transport.send(message);
}catch (MessagingException mex) {
mex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
of course I provide valid information (using my gmail account). And this is the error I get back:
com.sun.mail.util.MailConnectException: Couldn't connect to host, port: localhost, 25; timeout -1;
nested exception is:
