Java Mail Issue

[rdcian]

I have read many posts from many people and haven't been able to figure out what is going on.

My problem is shown below, why am I getting this error message?

The code I am using

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import java.util.*;

/**
 *
 */
public class Email {

    private String SMTP_HOST_NAME;
    private String SMTP_EMAIL;
    private String SMTP_USER;
    private String SMTP_PWD, SMTP_PORT;

    public Email(){
        
        Properties prop = new Properties();
        
        try {
            
            InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream("manage/PROPERTIES.properties");
            
            prop.load(is);
            
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            
        }
        
        SMTP_HOST_NAME = prop.getProperty("SMTP.HOST.NAME");
        SMTP_USER = prop.getProperty("SMTP.EMAIL.USER");
        SMTP_PWD = prop.getProperty("SMTP.EMAIL.PASSWORD");
        SMTP_EMAIL = prop.getProperty("SMTP.EMAIL");
        SMTP_PORT = prop.getProperty("SMTP.PORT");
        
    }

    public void postMail(String recipient, String subject,
            String message) throws MessagingException {
        boolean debug = false;

        //Set the host smtp address
        Properties props = System.getProperties();
        
        props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
        props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true");
        props.put("mail.smtp.host", SMTP_HOST_NAME);
        props.put("mail.smtp.port", SMTP_PORT);
        
        props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", "26");
        
	props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class",
				"javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory");
        
        Authenticator auth = new SMTPAuthenticator();
        Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, auth);

        session.setDebug(debug);

        // create a message
        Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);

        // set the from and to address
        InternetAddress addressFrom = new InternetAddress(SMTP_EMAIL);
        msg.setFrom(addressFrom);

        InternetAddress[] addressTo = new InternetAddress[1];
        
        addressTo[0] = new InternetAddress(recipient);
        
        msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, addressTo);

        // Setting the Subject and Content Type
        msg.setSubject(subject);
        msg.setContent(message, "text/plain");
        Transport.send(msg);
    }

    /**
     * SimpleAuthenticator is used to do simple authentication
     * when the SMTP server requires it.
     */
    private class SMTPAuthenticator extends javax.mail.Authenticator {

        public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
            String username = SMTP_USER;
            String password = SMTP_PWD;
            return new PasswordAuthentication(username, password);
        }
    }

The Error I am getting

javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: mail.something.com, port: 26;
  nested exception is:
	javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Unrecognized SSL message, plaintext connection?
	at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.openServer(SMTPTransport.java:1934)
	at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.protocolConnect(SMTPTransport.java:638)
	at javax.mail.Service.connect(Service.java:317)
	at javax.mail.Service.connect(Service.java:176)
	at javax.mail.Service.connect(Service.java:125)
	at javax.mail.Transport.send0(Transport.java:194)
	at javax.mail.Transport.send(Transport.java:124)

Information I was given for the server:

server name for both incoming and outgoing email: mail.somethin.com
username: someone@something.com
Password: *******
Outgoing port 26
Incoming port POP3 110

Thanks for helping me. Hopefully I am not crazy
