Mail Applet Hell.. Please help!

I am using this applet to send an email application to a recipient specified in an html parameter. Everything appears to work well and the applet completes saying transmission successful. However, I never recieve the email. If I run the applet in an appletviewer and hardcode the server address to my isp's mail server it works. I just cant get it working through a browser. At the end of this post there is a dump of the IE5.0 java console window. There are 2 exceptions being thrown and Im not sure where they are coming from but I think that they arent the problem. Id be most grateful if someone could solve this problem =)

I use Symantec Visual Cafe Professional Version 3.0c - JDK1.1.x

HERE IS THE MAIN APPLET CLASS:

heyhey_

there are several other classes ServerConfig / ErrLog, but you don't really need them.

it's very simple to use the MailManager class:

String mailBody = "sdsdf"; // whatever

Vector v = new Vector();
MailAddress ua = new MailAddress(user.firstName + " " + user.lastName , user.email);
v.addElement(ua);

if (user.pemail != null)
{
MailAddress aa = new MailAddress(null, user.pemail);
v.addElement(aa);
}

mailManager.sendMail(v, "Results on test " , mailBody);

of course there a lot of (better) SMTP examples on the web.

After analyzing my problem further, I realized that the problem was on the server side. The server wasnt set up to relay and I was using a recipient address from another domain. But now I have run into an even stranger problem. The server isnt accepting my DATA..?? I have posted only the portion of code that applies and the servers response codes.

CODE:
public boolean write() throws Exception
{
boolean error;

System.out.println( "Transmitting data..." );
pw.println("helo watchtower.mobis.com");
error = pw.checkError();
pw.print("mail from:");
      pw.println(from);
      error = pw.checkError();

      pw.print("rcpt to:");
      pw.println(to);
      error = pw.checkError();

      pw.println("data");

      /*pw.println("To: " + to);
      pw.println("From: " + from);
      pw.println("Subject: " + sub);
      pw.println(msg);*/

      pw.println(".");
      pw.println("quit");

      error = pw.checkError();
      readData();
      pw.close();
      return error;
}

Output from JAVA CONSOLE:

heyhey_

please post all messages (not only the server answers).
according to logs it seems that you've sent ONE message, and you've tried to sent another one....
I can't help you if you don't post the WHOLE code (btw. the code that I've posted worked for me, so you can always take a look at it)

if you don't want to post your code :), please generate message log like this one:

A Typical SMTP Transaction Scenario

This SMTP example shows mail sent by Smith at host USC-ISIF, to
Jones, Green, and Brown at host BBN-UNIX. Here we assume that
host USC-ISIF contacts host BBN-UNIX directly. The mail is
accepted for Jones and Brown. Green does not have a mailbox at
host BBN-UNIX.
