sending email without SMTP?

[java_srinivasan]

Hi dude,
After a lot of googling, i got code to send mail programatically in java but it works only with gmail although i substituted account name, password, smtp host and port after the discusion with my service engineer but vain. i got the following error
javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host:172.17.240.7, port: 25;

and my need is some other way/code which does not use smtp host/port no

Please let me know your kind reply!

Regards,
SRI.

What other protocol would you use to send mail?
When you find one you want to use, then you need to find a server that uses that protocol.

Do you know why you got the error message from that host?
If you can correct that problem, it might work.
