Invalid Email Exception

843830May 6 2007 — edited May 6 2007
Hi when I try to send a simple java mail using the below code I get the following exception.
import java.util.Properties;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;

public class MailExample
{
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        String host = "smtp.rediffmail.com";
        String from = "abc@rediffmail.com";
        String to = "abc@rediffmail.com";

        try
        {
            // Get system properties
            Properties props = System.getProperties();

            // Setup mail server
            Authenticator auth = new PopupAuthenticator();
            props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
            props.put("mail.smtp.port", "" + 25);
            props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");

            Session session = Session.getInstance(props, auth);
            session.setDebug(true);

            MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);

            message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from, "FromName"));

            message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,
                new InternetAddress(to, "ToName"));

            message.setSubject("Hello JavaMail");

            message.setText("Welcome to JavaMail");

            Transport.send(message);
            System.out.println("Mail Sent");
        }
        catch (MessagingException e)
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e)
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    static class PopupAuthenticator extends Authenticator
    {
        public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication()
        {
            return new PasswordAuthentication("abc@rediffmail.com",
                "password");
        }
    }
}
