## Class SMTPTransport

- java.lang.Object
- - javax.mail.Service
  - - javax.mail.Transport
    - - com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport

- Direct Known Subclasses:
    SMTPSSLTransport

      public class SMTPTransport
      extends Transport

  This class implements the Transport abstract class using SMTP for message submission and transport.

  See the com.sun.mail.smtp package documentation for further information on the SMTP protocol provider.

  This class includes many protected methods that allow a subclass to extend this class and add support for non-standard SMTP commands. The `issueCommand(java.lang.String, int)` and `sendCommand(java.lang.String)` methods can be used to send simple SMTP commands. Other methods such as the `mailFrom()` and `data()` methods can be overridden to insert new commands before or after the corresponding SMTP commands. For example, a subclass could do this to send the XACT command before sending the DATA command:

              protected OutputStream data() throws MessagingException {
                  if (supportsExtension("XACCOUNTING"))
                      issueCommand("XACT", 25);
                  return super.data();
              }

                                     throws MessagingException

      Performs the actual protocol-specific connection attempt. Will attempt to connect to "localhost" if the host was null.

      Unless mail.smtp.ehlo is set to false, we'll try to identify ourselves using the ESMTP command EHLO. If mail.smtp.auth is set to true, we insist on having a username and password, and will try to authenticate ourselves if the server supports the AUTH extension (RFC 2554).

                                  SendFailedException

      Send the Message to the specified list of addresses.

      If all the `addresses` succeed the SMTP check using the `RCPT TO:` command, we attempt to send the message. A TransportEvent of type MESSAGE_DELIVERED is fired indicating the successful submission of a message to the SMTP host.

      If some of the `addresses` fail the SMTP check, and the `mail.stmp.sendpartial` property is not set, sending is aborted. The TransportEvent of type MESSAGE_NOT_DELIVERED is fired containing the valid and invalid addresses. The SendFailedException is also thrown.

      If some of the `addresses` fail the SMTP check, and the `mail.stmp.sendpartial` property is set to true, the message is sent. The TransportEvent of type MESSAGE_PARTIALLY_DELIVERED is fired containing the valid and invalid addresses. The SMTPSendFailedException is also thrown.

      MessagingException is thrown if the message can't write out an RFC822-compliant stream using its `writeTo` method.

      Specified by:
        `sendMessage` in class `Transport`
      Parameters:
        `message` - The MimeMessage to be sent
        `addresses` - List of addresses to send this message to
      Throws:
        `SMTPSendFailedException` - if the send failed because of an SMTP command error
        `SendFailedException` - if the send failed because of invalid addresses.
