There are also a few other things. I had this happen one time, and it was a dns problem....another time it was another networking problem. Whatever it is, like I said before....or should have restated as: it appears that java is attempting to make the connection, but is being refused for some reason or another....possibly authentication, or very possibly a network issue (this is very likely)

it is the smtp server that is rejecting the connection.....do you need to authenticate to your smtp server?

I don't think so. The webapp is currently able to make SOAP calls to another server on the network. And connect to a SQL Server database.

Where would you suggest I check to be sure?

just shooting from the hip...

do you have any java policies configured, which forbids connections to another server?

Hi Guys

I'm running a web application on Tomcat 5.5.12, and I cannot connect to my SMTP server using javamail from it for some reason. The error I am getting is the following:- javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: smtpServer, port: 25; nested exception is:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect

What has me totally confused though is that I can telnet to the SMTP server on port 25. I also made a little test java application to run outside of tomcat and it succesfully sent an email to the same server!

Does anyone know what might be causing this. Why would it be failing only from the web application? I have tried just about everything i can think of.
Is the webapp running on the same server as the SMTP server? If so then you have to run telnet on that server itselft and connect to localhost on port 25 to do a true test.

The reason why I'm suggesting this is that the smtp server may not be configured to accept localhost connections.
