Javamail 535 5.7.8 authentication failed

Question

I'm using javamail api to send mails.

The following code has been working for about 5 months:

public static void sendMail(String dest, String oggetto, String testoEmail, String[] filePath) throws MessagingException{
    String sender2="mymail";
    String passSender2="mypass";
    String smpt2="smpt server";
    String port2="25";
    Properties props = new Properties();
    props.put("mail.smtp.port", port2);  //imposta la porta
    props.put("mail.smtp.host", smpt2);
    props.put("mail.smtps.auth", "true");
    props.put("mail.debug", "true");
    props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable","true");  //imposta la connessione cifrata





    Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);

    MimeMessage message = getMessage(filePath, oggetto, session, testoEmail);


    InternetAddress fromAddress = new InternetAddress(sender2);
    InternetAddress toAddress = new InternetAddress(dest);
    message.setFrom(fromAddress);
    message.setRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, toAddress);
    Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtp");
    transport.connect(smpt2, 25, sender2, passSender2);

    transport.sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients());
    transport.close();
}

But now i get this error:

535 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: authentication failure

I tried to use

props.put("mail.smtp.auth.mechanisms", "VALUE" );

with Value="LOGIN" or value="PLAIN" or value="DIGEST-MD5" or value="CRAM-MD5" but nothing worked. I tried to send an email through the webmail and it worked, so my account is not closed, and my credentials are right.

This is the debug trace:

Do you have some ideas?

Answer 1

Try changing Session.getDefaultInstance to Session.getInstance.

If that doesn't help, include more of the debug output showing the failure.
