> 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();
