Class SMTPTransport

java.lang.Object

javax.mail.Service

javax.mail.Transport

com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport

Direct Known Subclasses:

SMTPSSLTransport

public class SMTPTransport
extends Transport

This class implements the Transport abstract class using SMTP for message submission and transport.

See the com.sun.mail.smtp package documentation for further information on the SMTP protocol provider.

This class includes many protected methods that allow a subclass to extend this class and add support for non-standard SMTP commands. The issueCommand(java.lang.String, int) and sendCommand(java.lang.String) methods can be used to send simple SMTP commands. Other methods such as the mailFrom() and data() methods can be overridden to insert new commands before or after the corresponding SMTP commands. For example, a subclass could do this to send the XACT command before sending the DATA command:

        protected OutputStream data() throws MessagingException {
            if (supportsExtension("XACCOUNTING"))
                issueCommand("XACT", 25);
            return super.data();
        }

                 throws MessagingException,
                        SendFailedException

Send the Message to the specified list of addresses.

If all the addresses succeed the SMTP check using the RCPT TO: command, we attempt to send the message. A TransportEvent of type MESSAGE_DELIVERED is fired indicating the successful submission of a message to the SMTP host.

If some of the addresses fail the SMTP check, and the mail.stmp.sendpartial property is not set, sending is aborted. The TransportEvent of type MESSAGE_NOT_DELIVERED is fired containing the valid and invalid addresses. The SendFailedException is also thrown.

If some of the addresses fail the SMTP check, and the mail.stmp.sendpartial property is set to true, the message is sent. The TransportEvent of type MESSAGE_PARTIALLY_DELIVERED is fired containing the valid and invalid addresses. The SMTPSendFailedException is also thrown.

MessagingException is thrown if the message can't write out an RFC822-compliant stream using its writeTo method.

Specified by:

sendMessage in class Transport

Parameters:

message - The MimeMessage to be sent

addresses - List of addresses to send this message to

Throws:

SMTPSendFailedException - if the send failed because of an SMTP command error

SendFailedException - if the send failed because of invalid addresses.
