hello guys,
I have made an application that sends emails (with attachments) to different users. It works fine when I use an email account (smtp server) from my network but not otherwise.... For example if i use it from my university then uni's smtp server must be used. But when i run it from my job, my uni's server does not work (vice versa).

I get the following exceptions:
**************************************************************************************************************

ERROR MESSAGE: javax.mail.SendFailedException: Sending failed;

The "relay access denied" error is coming from the server; it's telling you that computers from your work network can't use your University's mail server to send mail -- which is a good thing (cuts down on spam.)
The only solution is that your program has to use a mail server which is appropriate for where the program is installed.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
