To be honest I've never needed to do this, but I suspect that your best bet would be
to use Java Mail, I've quickly run through relevant parts of James code and put
together a method outlining the key steps involved, I make no representations as to
its fitness for any purpose ;-) but I hope its a good clue. As with HTTP AUTH, SMTP
AUTH is complicated by having to agree to use the strongest common auth encryption
with the server, so most simple SMTP clients probably sidestep the issue altogether.
Be warned that while James uses the default mail session with no authenticator, doing
this will allow other apps in the same JVM to access your usernames and passwords.
