SMTP-Auth problem

[Jan Ulrich]

Hello,
I'm trying to send a mail with a SMTP-Server, which needs SMTP-Auth.
The code attached to this posting works perfect if executed from a shell, but i need this function in a servlet running on a Tomcat 4.1 webcontainer.

The DEBUG in a shell says:
<<DEBUG SMTP: useEhlo true, useAuth true

The Tomcat debug however says:
<<DEBUG SMTP: useEhlo true, useAuth false

and the sending fails. It looks as if Tomcat does not support SMTP Auth. Is there a possibility to replace some Tomcat jars with jars from J2EE?

Any help is appreciated, thanks
