Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hey everyone,

I have a JavaMail code base that I wrote for a utility at work. It works just fine while at work. However, I brought the code home to work on another utility from home, I am trying to use a friends SMTP server that he has in his suad.org setup. When I change all the pertinent information that is different (such as the SMTP server), I get the following stack trace:

javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: 206.124.134.166, port: 25, response: -1
at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.openServer(SMTPTransport.java:996)
at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.protocolConnect(SMTPTransport.java:197)
at javax.mail.Service.connect(Service.java:233)
at javax.mail.Service.connect(Service.java:134)
at com.xerox.mail.TemplateMail.transportMail(TemplateMail.java:134)
at com.xerox.mail.TemplateMail.sendMail(TemplateMail.java:90)
at com.xerox.mail.TemplateMail.main(TemplateMail.java:154)

I've searched the forums and haven't found anyone with the problem of a response of -1. All the other issues pertain to having connections refused, etc.

So, does anyone know what that response means? I've switched from the DNS name of suad.org and the IP that it resolves to, etc. No difference. I'm starting to wonder if he has his port set up on his SMTP server to be a different port. The problem with that theory is that I would expect a connection refused of some sort.

Thank you for your help.
