[jboss-user] [Beginners Corner] - Problem with sending Email from jBoss

I want to know how to send mails from jBoss. A google search revealed something which confused me. It said that mail sending is done through a bean java:/email or something. This confused me. I am using javax.mail.Transport to send the mail. The code is like this Properties props = new Properties(); | Session mailConnection = Session.getInstance(props, null); | Transport tr = mailConnection.getTransport("smtp"); | tr.connect("127.0.0.1","username","pass"); Now it gives an exception when when the connect method is called as- javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: 127.0.0.1, port: 25; nested exception is: java.net.SocketException: Software caused connection abort: connect Now there are a few things I am not sure of. First of all I think the username and password given when calling connect method are those defined in the mail-service.xml in jBoss. Also is mailing on directly in jBoss or do I have to start it by configuring it. I would be thankful to anyone who could help...
