Nice. I see:
final String username = "smtp-username";
final String password = "smtp-password";
Rather than hard-coding, could these be extracted from RACF (or other?)
database? Or kept in suitably protected user-specific files?
What about headers? Ideally, I might expect:
From: z/OS-ID
Sender: "smtp-username"
or:
Reply-to: z/OS-ID
But would GMail or a corporate mail server tolerate these, which might appear
to be used for forgeries or mail-bombing?
Hardcoding these or a corporate server should not be a problem:
props.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.gmail.com");
props.put("mail.smtp.port", "587");
Might these be publicized (not stored) on CBTTAPE.org to attract
users to Black Hill's storefront?
