Re: Tomcat configuring for email

[John Turner]

Yes.  Tomcat is not a mail transfer agent (MTA).  You will need a MTA on 
the standard port (port 25), either on localhost or some other host.  
Typical MTAs are sendmail, qmail, Microsoft's IIS, and many more.

The mail services included with Tomcat for sending mail interface with an 
MTA, they do not implement an MTA.

You can use any compatible MTA, such as sendmail on localhost if you have a 
UNIX-like system, or Microsoft's SMTP service on localhost if you have 
Windows, or any other remote MTA that is available to you, such as the MTA 
provided by your ISP.

Provided that localhost has an SMTP server then yes, e-mailing is "on."
The
example .jsp does in fact send e-mails provided that everything else is
configured correctly.

Hello.
Sorry for the confusion. What i meant does tomcat have a built in
emailing? As u replied there is .
But is it on by default? when i try running the example inside , it
seems to be a dummy one.
What i am trying to do is to mail a user automatically everytime he
makes a purchase.
inside the default server.xml as shown below, is this the way to
enable
emailing or is there more to it?
Thanks..
