JavaMail & Exchange Server

[Saiful]

Hi All

I want to send an email programmatically (not thru any email client software).
I use JavaMail API to achieve this.

I am able to now compile as well as execute a JavaMail program. Problem now
is that my company is using exchange server as the backend mail server.

So if I want to send email, it ties closely to my NT account. Besides that
I am not sure if Exchange server uses the SMTP protocol to send email. I
believe it does. However, I am wondering if any of you outta have managed
successfully send email thru a exchange server. Can you provide me a hand
here?

rgds,
Saiful

Yes, Exchange does use the SMTP protocol. However, in my experiments with
JavaMail I have only been able to send mail to other users on the same
Exchange server, not to anywhere outside the domain. This may be fixable by
reconfiguring the server, but I haven't looked into that yet. Judging by
the questions on Sun's JavaMail forum, many other people are having the same
difficulty.

So in this case, I just have to specify my exchange email server in place
of the SMTP host right?
