Have problem when sending an email using JAVA-MAIL, MDaemon server

I write a small code to send an email, but there is an error: com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPSendFailedException: 554 Message does not conform to standards

Here is listing:

import java.util.Properties;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;

public class demo {
public static void main (String args[]) throws Exception {

String host = "mail.aivietnam.net";
String from = "didulich@aivietnam.net";
String to = "thangdq@aivietnam.net";
String userName = "didulich@aivietnam.net";
String password = "mypassword"; // this is dumy password, in fact i have tried with real password

// Get system properties
Properties props = System.getProperties();

// Setup mail server
props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
props.put("mail.transport.protocol", "smtp");

      props.put("mail.smtp.port", 25);
      props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
      props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable","true");      // sua exception StartTLS
      props.put("mail.smtp.quitwait", "false");

// Get session
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, new MyAuthenticator(userName, password));

// Define message
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);

// Set the from address
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));

// Set the to address
message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,
new InternetAddress(to));

// Set the subject
message.setSubject("Hello JavaMail");

// Set the content
message.setText("Welcome to JavaMail");

// Send message
Transport.send(message);
}
}

class MyAuthenticator extends Authenticator
{
      private String userName;
      private String password;

      MyAuthenticator()
      {
            super();
      }

      MyAuthenticator(String userName, String password)
      {
            super();
            this.userName = userName;
            this.password = password;
      }

      protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication()
      {
            return new PasswordAuthentication(userName, password);
      }
}

I changed the from, to, and host info. The SMTP server I use processes this code properly.

http://www.answersthatwork.com/Download_Area/ATW_Library/Networking/Network__3-SMTP_Server_Status_Codes_and_SMTP_Error_Codes.pdf
says some change to the message and/or destination must be made. As I changed the destination in my test, this should be checked.

You might try session.setDebug(true); you might also enclose the code in a try..catch for more info.

FYI: regarding props.put("mail.smtp.port", 25);
The properties are always set as strings. I use a different port, and without the quotes it was defaulting to port 25 - so you aren't having a problem with this, but you might like to fix it anyway.

thanks for your reply!
i tried to use Debug, and enclose the code in a try..catch, and it's my console monitor :

My debug log is very similar - but without the error! (My smtp server is Postfix.)

I tried exchanging the set content statement with code from an example on page 90 of the JavaMail API Design Specification (available at http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/JavaMail-1.4.pdf). That code (shown below) also worked for me. Maybe it will make MDaemon happier.

BTW, I accidentally sent an email to the thangdq address shown above using this new code, but at least it shows that JavaMail and Postfix don't have a problem with that address.

//-----------------------------------------------------------
  // Set the content
  //message.setText("Welcome to JavaMail");
  
  // create and fill the first message part
  String msgText1 = "This is a message body.\nHere's line two.";
  String msgText2 = "This is the text in the message attachment.";
  
  MimeBodyPart mbp1 = new MimeBodyPart();
  mbp1.setText(msgText1);
 
  // create and fill the second message part
  MimeBodyPart mbp2 = new MimeBodyPart();
  // Use setText(text, charset), to show it off !
  mbp2.setText(msgText2, "us-ascii");
  // create the Multipart and its parts to it
  Multipart mp = new MimeMultipart();
  mp.addBodyPart(mbp1);
  mp.addBodyPart(mbp2);
  // add the Multipart to the message
  message.setContent(mp);
//-----------------------------------------------------------

Can you try a different SMTP server?

I installed MDaemon 9.6 locally (I have never used it; don't have any specific configuration knowledge), created a local domain and successfully sent email using the MDaemon SMTP server and this javax.mail program. The debug output is basically identical, line for line, until your 554 message.

I can find no table of error messages for MDaemon.

So...I don't know what else to tell you except good luck - and try a different SMTP server if you can!

I don't want to use another mail server :(
Maybe it has no solution

On Mdaemon configuration; remove "SMTP Server check command and Header for RFC compliance"

or YOU must create your message compliance to RFC.
