My site is designed using jsp
It uses a shared server instance (tomcat 5.0.27)
All other smtp configurations are fine, I 've tested them on my local server.
Some body Pls Help

p.s.
Here is the code snippet

Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.gerrys.net");
// Session mailSession = Session.getInstance(props, null);

the remarked line throws an exception that is caught and rethrown as JSPException to the browser
