hi friends,
I am trying to develop a FormMailer application using Servlets or JSP. I tried the thing by using the code mentioned below, but i am getting an error " sun.net.smtp:Sun.ProtocolException 550 5.7.7. Unable to relay to amits_007@rediffmail.com" on the DOS prompt and my browser screen doesnt show anything.I am using TOMCAT as the server and JSP as the front end.
CODE follows:
<%@ page language="java" import="sun.net.smtp.SmtpClient, java.io.*" %>
<% String from="amits_007@hotmail.com";
String to="amits_007@rediffmail.com";
try{ SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("mail.yahoo.com");
client.from(from);
client.to(to);
PrintStream message = client.startMessage();
message.println("To: " + to);
message.println("Subject: Sending email from JSP!");
message.println("This was sent from a JSP page!");
message.println();
message.println("Cool beans! :-)");
message.println();
message.println("Govind Seshadri");
message.println("jGuru.com");
message.println();
client.closeServer();
out.println("amirr");
}
catch (IOException e){ System.out.println("ERROR SENDING EMAIL:"+e); }%>

Kindly help me out with this. Please suggest if there is any other way by which this applicatin can be made.
Bye,
Amit

mail.yahoo.com is not an SMTP mail host. It is the URL of a proprietary Web-based mail system. You do not have direct access to its outgoing mail capabilities with SMTP.
