Quick Mail Java - 1.08 MB

Overview

Quick Mail is a simple way to send mail using Java API in Windows and SUN/UNIX.

Things Required, Where to Get and How to Install

activation.jar
dnsjava.jar.
mail.jar
sendmail.jar

Above all, you can get it from the Sun site. But, you can get all the jar files from Java_Mail_demo.zip which attached with this article.

Brief Description

This article will help you to send mails using Java API. I have given the basic Java program. You can integrate this with any UI for easy access.

Source Code

I have given sample code to use it.

    MimeMessage mimemessage = new MimeMessage(session);
    // set FROM
    mimemessage.setFrom(new InternetAddress(mailfrom));
    // set DATE
    mimemessage.setSentDate(new java.util.Date());
    // set SUBJECT
    mimemessage.setSubject(subject);

    // set TO address
    try
    {
        mimemessage.setRecipients(javax.mail.Message.RecipientType.TO, mailto);
    }
    catch(Exception exception1)
    {
        System.out.println("\tError in setting recipients ......\t" + 
                exception1.getMessage());
    }

    // set message BODY
    MimeBodyPart mimebodypart = new MimeBodyPart();
    mimebodypart.setText(text);

    // attach message BODY
    MimeMultipart mimemultipart = new MimeMultipart();
    mimemultipart.addBodyPart(mimebodypart);

    // attach FILE
    mimebodypart = new MimeBodyPart();
    try
    {
        FileDataSource filedatasource = new FileDataSource(filename);
        mimebodypart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(filedatasource));
    }
    catch(Exception exception3)
    {
        System.out.println("\tError in sending file not been able to attach ......\t" 
                        + exception3.getMessage());
    }
    mimebodypart.setFileName(filename); // set FILENAME
    mimemultipart.addBodyPart(mimebodypart);
    mimemessage.setContent(mimemultipart);

    //set CC MAIL and SEND the mail
    if(!mailto.equals(""))
    {
        // set CC MAIL
        if(!ccmailid.equals(""))
        mimemessage.setRecipients(javax.mail.Message.RecipientType.CC, ccmailid);
        try
        {
                        // send MAIL
        Transport.send(mimemessage);
        System.out.println("\tSent Successfully..........");
        strResult = "\tSent Successfully..........";
        }
        catch(Exception exception4)
        {
        System.out.println("\tError in sending Address Try........." + 
                exception4.getMessage());
        }
    }
                else
    {
        System.out.println("\tMail operation Failed..........\t");
        strResult = "\tMail operation Failed..........\t";
    }
}

Just try it. It is simple to use.

Happy programming!

Hi,

Check the content and use this appropriate
MimeMultipart content = new MimeMultipart("alternative");
MimeBodyPart text = new MimeBodyPart();
MimeBodyPart html = new MimeBodyPart();

text.setText( "Your text content" );
text.setHeader("MIME-Version" , "1.0" );
text.setHeader("Content-Type" , text.getContentType() );

html.setContent("Your html content", "text/html");
html.setHeader("MIME-Version" , "1.0" );
html.setHeader("Content-Type" , html.getContentType() );

content.addBodyPart(text);
content.addBodyPart(html);

message.setContent( content )
message.setHeader("MIME-Version" , "1.0" );
message.setHeader("Content-Type" , content.getContentType() );
message.setHeader("X-Mailer", "Recommend-It Mailer V2.03c02");

Hope this helps,

If you would have given valid smtphost then it will not give any error. This is a simple program which gives some idea about java mail. This not meant for intermediate/higher level java programmars. visit www.mohamedashraf.tk

I think you can read the stream. i.e., read the characters while creating a file. visit www.mohamedashraf.tk

Initializaiton Block = Null & other errors [modified]
hanozt_007

6:18 22 Aug '07

Hi,

I did as per instructions, i downloaded your test application
but i m getting this error: Initializaiton Block = Null.
It goes into the catch loop at

org.xbill.DNS.Record arecord[] = (new Lookup(smtphost, (short)15)).run();
// Store all SMTP hosts and their Priority
for(int j = 0; j < arecord.length; j++)

it is getting null at the length!!!!

Then i tried to modify the code, by removing the above FOR loop and made the adjustemnts, so that i have only one smtphost...i hardcoded the IP address(i have confirmed that this is indeed the correct ip address)
But now i am getting the error:
Error in sending Address Try.........Invalid Addresses;
nested exception is:class com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPAddressFailedException: 554 Relay rejected for policy reasons. This time it goes into catch at : Transport.send(mimemessage); I checked, it is when i use the "cc". If i comment the cc part, then it runs successfully

I am using:
Eclipse SDK
Version: 3.1.2
Build id: M20060118-1600
JDK1.5.0

Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!!

It doesnot matter which web server you are using. It's a matter of mail api's are there in classpath. Pls check the required jars are in the classpath. visit www.mohamedashraf.tk

Hi, This is due to reference problem. You don't have appropriate jars then put weblogic.jar in the classpath and try it. If you have weblogic you can get it from lib folder. Rgs, Ashraf Mohamed visit www.mohamedashraf.tk

Hi, I have implemented the same logic into my test program. Its working fine for the correct email addresses, but if I put email address as abc@xyz.com, then also its sending. though no reciept msg is coming even then no exception is there.

Unless until you handle the bounce using pop3 it will not be showing any receipt of the message. SMTP is not a point to point type protocol.It simply delivers it and bounced message must be captured by pop mechanisms. Hope this helps... visit www.mohamedashraf.tk
