Send Email smtp invalid

[Angus Ferguson]

Hi all,

I m writing some code for sending an email like this:

public class SendEmail
{
   public static void main(String [] args)
   {    
      // Recipient's email ID needs to be mentioned.
      String to = "[e-mail]";

      // Sender's email ID needs to be mentioned
      String from = "[e-mail]";

      // Assuming you are sending email from localhost
      String host = "localhost";

      // Get system properties
      Properties properties = System.getProperties();

      // Setup mail server
      properties.setProperty("mail.smtp.host", "mail.leeanrouteidh.jvmhost.net");
      properties.setProperty("mail.smtp.port", "8080");

      // Get the default Session object.
      Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(properties);

      try{
         // Create a default MimeMessage object.
         MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);

         // Set From: header field of the header.
         message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));

         // Set To: header field of the header.
         message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(to));

         // Set Subject: header field
         message.setSubject("This is the Subject Line!");

         // Now set the actual message
         message.setText("This is actual message");

         // Send message
         Transport.send(message);
         System.out.println("Sent message successfully....");
      }catch (MessagingException mex) {
         mex.printStackTrace();
      }
   }
}

I have this line of code which gives me the next error:

The SMTP port number is usually (always?) 25, not 8080.

[Angus Ferguson]

I changed the port it is still failing. Someone can see any other reason?

[Dave Tolls]

Do you actually have an SMTP server running there?

[Ron McLeod]

Is this the same issue as your Sending email error with the ports topic? I asked the same question there as Dave is asking here; whether you actually have an SMTP server running locally. You can't connect to a server which doesn't exist.
