Sending mail from an application (Pre-v2 JDK, Redhat 6.0)
Hey all, How would one go about sending e-mail from an application? I have tried doing it via the Runtime.exec() method and running a long drawn out 'mail' command, but the system executes it too fast and it ends up getting garbled in the process. Any ideas?

Revisited: Sending mail from an application (Pre-v2 JDK, Redhat 6.0)
Hey guys, Thanks for all of your help! I can now send e-mail from Java apps... almost. =) I download, installed, and used the JavaMail extensions, but am now having another problem. The machine that this app is running on does not have sendmail on it and by default it is trying to connect to the localhost to send the e-mail. What is the property I need to set in the Properties object to point this too another server? I have tried setting 'mailhost' and 'host', both which I have found in other samples, but they don't seem to work. Any idea's? Thanks, Abe Abe L.

"mail.host" works like a charm. Thanks for the heads up on the DNS resolution issue! Thanks, Abe Abe L.

I've never used SmtpClient, but the source appears to use that. On a related note, it looks like the URL handler for "mailto:" does the wrong DNS lookup for the remote host - it does an address (A) lookup instead of a mail exchanger (MX) lookup. So, if you use mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], and the machine called host.domain doesn't exist, SmtpClient will fail. More than likely, there's an MX record from host.domain to something like mail.host.domain, which would work. No easy way around this, unfortunately.
