illlegal address exception.

[Shanky Sohar]

Hi friends,,

I am facing a problem in sending a javamail..

while creating a session it says "illegal address".So the session is not getting created because of this.

The code which i am using is.......

import java.util.Properties; 
import javax.mail.Authenticator;
import javax.mail.Message;
import javax.mail.MessagingException;
import javax.mail.PasswordAuthentication;
import javax.mail.Session;
import javax.mail.Transport;
import javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress;
import javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage;



public class SendAuthenticatedMail
{
  private static feedback_details deta=new feedback_details();
	public static debug_details bug=new debug_details(); 
  private static final String SMTP_HOST_NAME = "mail.mydomain.com";
  private static final String SMTP_AUTH_USER = "[e-mail]";
  private static final String SMTP_AUTH_PWD  = "password";

  private static final String emailMsgTxt      = deta.getComments();
  private static final String emailSubjectTxt  = deta.getSubject();
  private static final String emailFromAddress = deta.getPerson_email();
  private static final String name=deta.getName();
    // Add List of Email address to who email needs to be sent to
  private static final String[] emailList = {"[e-mail]"};

  public SendAuthenticatedMail() {
    try{
    	bug.setAa("before aa");
       postMail( emailList, emailSubjectTxt, emailMsgTxt, emailFromAddress);
    }catch(Exception ex){
    	
    	System.out.println("error while sending mail");
    	bug.setErr1(ex.getMessage());
    	
    }
    bug.setCc("Sucessfully Sent mail to All Users");
    System.out.println("Sucessfully Sent mail to All Users");
  }

  public void postMail( String recipients[ ], String subject,
                            String message , String from) throws MessagingException
  {
    
	  boolean debug = false;

     //Set the host smtp address
     Properties pro = new Properties();
     pro.put("mail.smtp.user", SMTP_AUTH_USER);
     pro.put("mail.smtp.host", SMTP_HOST_NAME);
     pro.put("mail.smtp.port","25");
     pro.put( "mail.pop3.port", "110");
     pro.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable","true");
     pro.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
     pro.put("mail.debug", "true");
     pro.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port","25");

     
     System.out.println("before authentication field");
     bug.setAa("before authentication field");
    Authenticator auth = new SMTPAuthenticator();
    System.out.println("before creating session");
    bug.setBb("before creating session");
    //getDefaultInstance creates a shred connection which other application may also use..
    //Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(pro, auth);
    
    //for connection dedicated to my application use.using getInstance will create a unique connection to my application
    Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(pro, auth);
    System.out.println("session created");
    bug.setCc("session created");
    session.setDebug(debug);

    // create a message
    Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);

    System.out.println("set the from fields of address bars");
    InternetAddress addressFrom = new InternetAddress(from);
    msg.setFrom(addressFrom);

    System.out.println("setting to fields");
    bug.setDd("setting to fields");
    //For multiple receiptents
    InternetAddress[] addressTo = new InternetAddress[recipients.length];
    for (int i = 0; i < recipients.length; i++)
    {
        addressTo[i] = new InternetAddress(recipients[i]);
    }

    msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, addressTo);

    // Setting the Subject and Content Type
    msg.setSubject(subject);
    msg.setContent(message, "text/plain");
    
    System.out.println("sending using smtp protocol");
    Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtp");

    transport.send(msg);
    System.out.println("mail sent");
   bug.setEe("mail send");
  }


/**
* SimpleAuthenticator is used to do simple authentication
* when the SMTP server requires it.
*/
private class SMTPAuthenticator extends javax.mail.Authenticator
{

    public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication()
    {
        String username = SMTP_AUTH_USER;
        String password = SMTP_AUTH_PWD;
        return new PasswordAuthentication(username, password);
    }
}

}

the code is not executing beyond the line of..
before creating session.

and is throughing the exception as "illegal address".

Can anybody please guide me how to correct this.


Thanks

What address are you trying that with?

[Shanky Sohar]

the address which i am trying with that is

SMTP_AUTH_USER = "[email protected]";

by puttin it into the properties file

[Paul Sturrock]

Sorry, not that address the from address.

From address is the address which the person filling the feedback form will enter..
Is the illegal address error is coming from there...

[Paul Sturrock]

Perhaps. The simplest way to find out is to add logging of all the addresses you intend to use (though from memory this should be included in the stack trace... might be wrong about that though).
