I assume you are you sure your mail server actually supports mail without authentication?
Also what exact error occurs then when you try? Post the complete error message.

Actually i am not getting any errors according to above code when i used to set authentication property but when i tried it with the following property: properties.put("mail.smtp.auth", "false"); and created a session object like this:- Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(properties, null); i expect it should work but it's not....


And as u said what errors occurs when i used it without authentication then following errors comes...


javax.mail.AuthenticationFailedException
Mail sending failed.
at javax.mail.Service.connect(Service.java:306)
at javax.mail.Service.connect(Service.java:156)
at javax.mail.Service.connect(Service.java:105)
at javax.mail.Transport.send0(Transport.java:168)
at javax.mail.Transport.send(Transport.java:98)
at com.email.Email.sendMail(Email.java:112)
at com.email.Email.main(Email.java:66)

sagarsbodage, I asked you to edit your post. Were you unable to understand why, or are you just lazy?
