Java mail
hi

I am quite new to java.. I have written some code that requests user input to create a mail then should be sent.

I am using my companies smtp address to send it through but i keep getting the exception unknown host, however when a colleague tries to run my code on there pc on the same network it works correctly. Really impressed my code works but i want to play with it and add things to it and cannot!

Is there any settings or rights i should have on my pc to enable me to get this code to work. Also does anyone know of any external smtp hosts i can send mails from.

thanks
A

As far as I know there is no external SMTP hosts out there (if there was then it would be probably be used and abused by junk e-mailers...)

Talk to your company's IT person and see if they can help! :)

Im just guessing here... You are using Windows? ;-)

If so, try using your own smtp server:
