Hi,

I want to send email from localhost through javamail.

I am able to send the mail through Google smtp. Now I want to send it through localhost.

I have found out that there is a "James open source Java server" for sending email.
But I could not find any help on how to configure it.

I am using NetBeans and Tomcat7.0

any help...

Thanks

That's because only people who understand how Internet e-mail works, and more specifically what trouble you can cause by starting up a badly-secured SMTP server, should be doing that. I suspect that you don't; if you did then you would be likely to be able to look at the package and figure out how to set it up. So I recommend you not to set up your own mail server yet.

Well I agree with you.
But I want to do this only for test purposes.

Here is the code through which I can sent mail through gmail smtp,

if someone could tell me, anything about localhost smpt server that would be helpful.
I don't know which port or smtp host James java server use.

Are you lucky enough to be on a Mac? If so, you can just use the built-in postfix mailer. Start it with:

sudo postfix start

If you're on Windows, I don't have any suggestions.
