Hi everybody, I'm a newbie in using JBoss and I'm trying to write a simple session bean that should provide kinda mail-delivery facility. I've been googling for a couple of nights to finds docs explaining how to properly configure JBoss in order to be able to send mails by means of the Java Mail API, but I must confess I did not succeeded. I've only found out that it should be sufficient customizing the "mail- service.xml" file found under de deploy folder of (for example) the default folder. That's why I configured it in the following way: --- my mail-service.xml --- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- $Id: mail-service.xml 62349 2007-04-15 16:48:15Z dimitris(a)jboss.org $ --> <server> <!-- ==================================================================== --> <!-- Mail Connection Factory --> <!-- ==================================================================== --> <mbean code="org.jboss.mail.MailService" name="jboss:service=Mail"> <attribute name="JNDIName">java:/Mail</attribute> <attribute name=&quot;User&quot;&gt;my(a)email.address&lt;/attribute&gt; <attribute name="Password">my_passwd</attribute> <attribute name="Configuration"> <!-- A test configuration --> <configuration> <!-- Change to your mail server prototocol --> <property name="mail.store.protocol" value="pop3"/> <property name="mail.transport.protocol" value="smtp"/> <!-- Change to the mail server --> <property name="mail.pop3.host" value="pop.somehost.it"/> <!-- Change to the SMTP gateway server --> <property name="mail.smtp.host" value="smtp.somehost.it"/> <!-- The mail server port --> <property name="mail.smtp.port" value="25"/> <!-- Change to the address mail will be from --> <property name="mail.from" value=&quot;my(a)email.address&quot;/&gt; <!-- Enable debugging output from the javamail classes --> <property name="mail.debug" value="false"/> </configuration> </attribute> <depends>jboss:service=Naming</depends> </mbean> </server> -------------------- My session bean looks like this: --- MailerBean.java --- @Stateless public class MailerBean implements MailerLocal { private Session mail; public void sendMail(String email, String subject, String body) throws NamingException, MessagingException { InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(); mail = (Session) ctx.lookup("java:Mail"); MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(mail); message.setSubject(subject); message.setRecipients(javax.mail.Message.RecipientType.TO, javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress.parse(email, false)); message.setText(body); Transport.send(message); } } ------------------------ Well, at deploy time I obviously have no problems, but trying to run that service I get the following exception: --- exception --- javax.mail.SendFailedException: Invalid Addresses; nested exception is: com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPAddressFailedException: 553 5.7.1 <my(a)email.address com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.rcptTo(SMTPTransport.java:1196) com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.sendMessage(SMTPTransport.java:584) javax.mail.Transport.send0(Transport.java:169) javax.mail.Transport.send(Transport.java:98) --------------------- How's that? Am I missing some configuration element in the mail- session.xml file or should I do something more in my Java code? Please, note that the email provider I'm trying to use for performing this very basic test is a public email provider that does not require neither SSL nor TLS, thus there should be plain password authentication I guess.
