Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hi,

I am currently working on a project for university which requires me to send and receive email. I was until this week able to send mail no problem, but now the SMTP server has been upgraded so that each time a mail is sent it requires the username and password.

Ideally the connection should be made using TLS/SSL, and not use the Authenticator method. I want to pass the username and password directly if possible.

I've been trying to use the following but have been getting handshake, and other exceptions:

SMTPSSLTransport smtpSSLtransport = new SMTPSSLTransport(session, 
                    new URLName("smtp", smtpHost, port, null-File,
                    "USERNAME", "PASSWORD"));
        smtpSSLtransport.setStartTLS(true);
        smtpSSLtransport.connect(new Socket(smtpHost, port));
        smtpSSLtransport.sendMessage(smtpMessage,                                                     message.getAllRecipients());
        smtpSSLtransport.close();

Can anyone correct this piece of code for me or point me in the right direction of what classes and methods I should be using?

Many thanks in advance,

Gordon
