This may not have anything to do with the problem, but how are you setting username and password?

Can you connect to the host directly by typing "telnet smtp.ktk.airtelbroadband.in 25" on the command line?

[Paul Sturrock]

Software caused connection abort: connect

I'd check there are no firewalls or port blocking software between you and your server.

thanks Ulf and paul,

i did check the telnet smtp.ktk.airtelbroadband.in . Its aborting connection.
Is this an Issue? Coz am successfuly fetching the mail from the same server using POP.

so any other thing that i missed...? which is important.Please tell me.

Thanks
TUHIN

Yes it is. If you can't connect via SMTP, you can't use JavaMail (as it is) to send emails.

This sounds like a configuration thing. I wouldn't be suprised if your server admin has stopped anything connecting to his server to send mails, but is happy to allow a connection to retreive them. Speak to him/her/them.

There seems to be something seriously wrong with the deployment descriptor of your web application. The error message suggests you don't have a 'web-app' element in there. Check your deployment descriptor and make sure it is correct.

Did you? Out the box Outlook uses MAPI to connect to Exchange - so if you configured a new Microsoft Exchange Server in your Outlook services you are probably connecting via MAPI, not SMTP.

Or it is possible that you have port blocking software stopping applications other than recognized MUAs connecting to the server. Check that.

Still this still sounds like the sort of configuration issue that can be solved easily by speaking to the person in charge of the SMTP server you are trying to connect to.
