Well that's most kind of you, you are being very patient. I think I need to take a step back here. The boss is happy that sending email from within the application is now working. I on the other hand want to know why something that works in Tomcat 5 doesn't work in Tomcat 6. He's less than inclined to pay for that information however :-( Anyway, I will certainly do some more testing, maybe install a clean Tomcat 6 and create a simple web app that just sends email to a preconfigured address ... whatever, I'll post results here including code, mail debug and anything else that might help Thanks again for your time lyallex > >> OK, firstly thanks for the feedback so far >> >> Let me be quite clear about one thing. >> I am using the same mail server in both cases.
