asked on SMTP from Java and Gmail
I'm working on a Java POP3 / SMTP client for sending/receiving emails using which will be integrated with a custom socket server.
The problem is that when I send the email from my PC, the emails don't get received by the recipient, because the destination email thinks it's spoofed.
I figured that if I sent an email from GMail / SMTP, while authenticated, etc, that I would get the same result as if I logged into the GMail web interface... But, this is what the message looks like.
Return-Path: <verify@domain_dot_com>

by mx.google.com with ESMTPS id 21sm74440iwn.11.2010.02.18

I'm not having problems connecting/authenticating to the gmail server. The problem is with my desktop being listed as the sender.
Nonetheless, I added the starttls.enabled= true (which isn't actually needed)... Yet I still get the same results.
The first link that "objects" posted shows the same result in the debug output.

Hmmm. Still getting the same results.
Even though you couldn't see it, I had a "session" that had pretty much the same settings, it just also had pop3 settings.
I've tried 3 different ways, and the mails still seem like they come from my desktop.

I have no problem with your code after the change i mentioned

There isn't really a problem with my code, per se.
Does it appear as if it were sent from your desktop? What is displayed in the headers of the sent message? Also, what is displayed in the debug output?

Well it displays my hostname in the headers, together with the IP address - just as expected. What parts of the debug output are you interested in?

correct, your code is fine
you can change the headers if you want, but no need to
