Sounds like a setup problem. Can you ping mailhost? Does 'telnet

Your code works for me.
The mailto lookup sequence is System.getProperty("mail.host"),
localhost, mailhost. In your case it looks like SendMail fails to
open a smtp connection to System.getProperty("mail.host") and to
localhost, and so it tries mailhost but the lookup fails.
