How do I send an SMTP Message from Java?
Here's an example for Gmail smtp:
import java.io.*;
import java.net.InetAddress;
import java.util.Properties;
import java.util.Date;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import com.sun.mail.smtp.*;
public class Distribution {
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
Properties props = System.getProperties();
props.put("mail.smtps.host","smtp.gmail.com");
props.put("mail.smtps.auth","true");
Session session = Session.getInstance(props, null);
Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress("mail@tovare.com"));;
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,
InternetAddress.parse("tov.are.jacobsen@iss.no", false));
msg.setSubject("Heisann "+System.currentTimeMillis());
msg.setText("Med vennlig hilsennTov Are Jacobsen");
msg.setHeader("X-Mailer", "Tov Are's program");
msg.setSentDate(new Date());
SMTPTransport t =
(SMTPTransport)session.getTransport("smtps");
t.connect("smtp.gmail.com", "admin@tovare.com", "<insert password here>");
t.sendMessage(msg, msg.getAllRecipients());
System.out.println("Response: " + t.getLastServerResponse());
t.close();
}
}
Now, do it this way only if you would like to keep your project dependencies to a minimum, otherwise i can warmly recommend using classes from apache
http://commons.apache.org/email/

Another way is to use aspirin (https://github.com/masukomi/aspirin) like this:
MailQue.queMail(MimeMessage message)
..after having constructed your mimemessage as above.
Aspirin is an smtp 'server' so you don't have to configure it. But note that sending email to a broad set of recipients isnt as simple as it appears because of the many different spam filtering rules receiving mail servers and client applications apply.
Please see this post
How can I send an email by Java application using GMail, Yahoo, or Hotmail?
It is specific to gmail but you can substitute your smtp credentials.
See the JavaMail API and associated javadocs.
See the following tutorial at Java Practices.
http://www.javapractices.com/topic/TopicAction.do?Id=144
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import java.util.*;
public void postMail(String recipients[], String subject,
String message , String from) throws MessagingException {
//Set the host smtp address
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.jcom.net");
// create some properties and get the default Session
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
session.setDebug(false);
// create a message
Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
// set the from and to address
InternetAddress addressFrom = new InternetAddress(from);
msg.setFrom(addressFrom);
InternetAddress[] addressTo = new InternetAddress[recipients.length];
for (int i = 0; i < recipients.length; i++) {
addressTo[i] = new InternetAddress(recipients[i]);
}
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, addressTo);
// Optional : You can also set your custom headers in the Email if you Want
msg.addHeader("MyHeaderName", "myHeaderValue");
// Setting the Subject and Content Type
msg.setSubject(subject);
msg.setContent(message, "text/plain");
Transport.send(msg);
}
