We are using Spring Mail to send emails from java application org.springframework.mail.javamail.JavaMailSenderImpl
Spring Email Configuration is
<bean id="mailSender" class="org.springframework.mail.javamail.JavaMailSenderImpl" autowire-candidate="default">
<property name="host" value="${test.email.host}" />
<property name="port" value="${test.email.port}" />
<property name="username" value="${test.email.username}" />
<property name="password" value="${test.email.password}" />
<property name="javaMailProperties">
<props>
<prop key="mail.smtp.auth">true</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
Java code snapshot is
@Autowired(required = true)
@Qualifier("errorMessageMailSender")
JavaMailSenderImpl mailSender;
..............
..............
try {
MimeMessage mailMessage = buildEmailMimeMessage(properties,mimeMultipart);
logger.info(String.format("Built MimeMessage object is <%s>",mailMessage));
if (mailMessage != null) {
mailSender.send(mailMessage);
logger.info("Mail sent Successfully");
}else{
logger.info("Mail send failed as Mail message object construction failed.");
}
result=true;
} catch (Exception e) {
logger.error("An exception occurred while sending mail :: " + e.getMessage());
}
Property files
test.email.host=mail.mydomain.net
test.email.port=2525
test.email.username=demo@mydomain.net
test.email.password=mypassword
But we are below exception, and email is not being sent
An exception occurred while sending mail :: Failed messages: javax.mail.SendFailedException: Invalid Addresses;
nested exception is:
com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPAddressFailedException: 550 5.7.1 <demo@mydomain.net>... Relaying denied
The smtp server that you are trying to send the mail to is rejecting to relay. If it is your own local server that is not a problem, you may change configurations to relay mails from your mydomain.net . But if it is an external server (gmail for example), you have to use a real registered domain.
To test your code against a mail server, I recommend you to setup a dockerized Apache James Server, create some test users on it and send and receive emails.
