I think some of the problem may be in not seeing all your code. Here's what
I don't understand:
If this is SMTP, where is the hostname and port?
This appears to be incomplete to me.
I understand the message portion as that's the same as I do with Sockets,
but I have different setup I do for Sockets. Is this all you do to set it
up?
Since you are using an URL, you may not need these, but I have never seen it
done this way. I use a Socket from a servlet with a class. It is different,
not in the message, but the communication to the host and set up.
Thanks,
Gary
