sending an e-mail

[prasadbuddhika]

i found the code for sending e-mail , but my problem is that mail is not received by the recipient .

public void postMail(String recipients[], String subject, String message, String from) throws MessagingException {
boolean debug = false;

    Properties props = new Properties();
    props.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.gmail.com");

    System.out.println("step 1 ");
    

    Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
    session.setDebug(debug);

    Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);

   InternetAddress addressFrom = new InternetAddress(from);
    msg.setFrom(addressFrom);

    InternetAddress\[\] addressTo = new InternetAddress\[recipients.length\];
    for (int i = 0; i < recipients.length; i++) {
        addressTo\[i\] = new InternetAddress(recipients\[i\]);
    }
    msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, addressTo);

   msg.addHeader("MyHeaderName", "myHeaderValue");
    msg.setSubject(subject);
    msg.setContent(message, "text/plain");

    Transport.send(msg);
} 

i call this method with

String [] st = new String[1];
st[0] = "nuwan";

this.postMail(st, "test", "prasadbuddhika42@gmail.com", "prasadbuddhika42@gmail.com");

can anyone tell me what is wrong in this code ?

Gmail SMTP server requires authentication and uses SSL. You should add following to your properties: mail.transport.protocol=smtps mail.smtps.host=smtp.gmail.com mail.smtps.user=your gmail username mail.smtps.password=your gmail password mail.smtps.auth=true
