Corey Scott commented on EMAIL-83:
----------------------------------
Aaron,
I have tried to replicate this error and have yet been unable to do so.
(My environment is: Eclipse 3.4, java 1.6.0_07, Email (trunk), Java Mail
1.4.1, Mail server: James 2.3)
It however sounds like you know what the problem is, is it possible for you to
point me in the direction of the what you means by "uses the
Service.getURLName() as the key to pass to the authTable (HashTable)", so that
I can look into a little more for you?
Thanks.
> Problems using SMTP authentication with JavaMail 1.4.1

> Key: EMAIL-83
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EMAIL-83
> Project: Commons Email
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.1
> Environment: Java5, Netbeans 6.1, Commons/Email 1.1, JavaMail 1.4.1,
> JAF 1.1.1
> Reporter: Aaron Baff
>
> I am trying to use SimpleEmail based off of the example on the Commons/Email
> site to send an email. I plan on probably going to an HtmlEmail, but I
> thought I would start out simple and basic. The code I am using is shown
> below. The problem I am running into is that my SMTP server requires
> authentication, so I added the Authenticator as shown below with a correct
> username and password (tested and known working). Unfortunately, my server
> keeps rejecting my authentication so in javax.mail.Transport.send() @line 188
> it tries to connected, fails the authentication and then on the next line it
> tries to send the message which results in an exception because the server
> won't let it send. I have found that in the javax.mail.Service.connect()
> @line 206, it goes through the connect sequence which includes trying to find
> the user/pass through various means. When it gets to line 268 it hasn't
> gotten a password yet, and so tries to look it up on the session via
> javax.mail.Session.getPasswordAuthentication(). It uses the
> Service.getURLName() as the key to pass to the authTable (HashTable) which
> contains PasswordAuthentication. Unfortunately, the DefaultAuthenticator set
> as part of SimpleEmail.setAuthenticator() is in the variable authenticator in
> the Session, not in the authTable.
> I have also tried with JavaMail 1.4 and similar results, although I did not
> run in debug and step through it, I believe it performs the same behavior due
> to the 1.4.1 changes (http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/CHANGES.txt)
> which say nothing about it.
> SimpleEmail email = new SimpleEmail();
> email.setDebug(true);
> email.setAuthenticator(new DefaultAuthenticator("<USERNAME>", "<PASSWORD>"));
> email.setHostName("<SMTP HOST>");
> email.setSmtpPort(587);
> email.addTo("<TO EMAIL>", "Test Person");
> email.setFrom("<FROM EMAIL>");
> email.setSubject("Test message");
> email.setMsg("This is a simple test of commons-email");
> email.send();
