Commons Email Problem

[Luke DeWitt <lu...@penguinfire.com>]

Hi List!

My first send out here and I am hoping that I can find my answer.

I am using commons email to send out notifications for users of our site. This is the code I have inside our "Privacy Broker" which is basically a fancy name to hold user info at the moment.

 public void sendEmail(String host, String emailer, String password, String fromAddress, String fromName, String toAddress, String subject, String body, String[] bccLists){
  try {
   HtmlEmail email = new HtmlEmail();
//   email.setAuthentication(emailer, password);
   email.setHostName(host);
   email.setFrom(fromAddress,fromName);
   email.addTo(toAddress);
   email.setSubject(subject);
   email.setMsg(body);
   if(bccLists != null){
    for(String s:bccLists) email.addBcc(s);
   }
   email.send();
   
  } catch (EmailException e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
  } 
 }


Now for some reason, the mail is working fine some of the time, but more times than none, we are getting this error in our logs.

I have been looking furiously online, but I am finding nothing...

We are thinking that perhaps we aren't properly closing the HTMLEmail object (or something along those lines) but we really aren't too sure.

If any one has any info they could give me it would be much appreciated.

Thank you very much,

Hi Luke,

It seems more like it's something underlying. The Exception comes out
of JavaMail and is an [EOF] on the SMTPTransport.issueCommands.
Googling for "javax.mail.MessagingException: [EOF]", it seems to be a
pretty generic 'something-went-wrong' kind of message.

Checking our your email server's logs to see if you can find errors
that correlate with the client side errors would be the best bet I
think. Failing that - I'd write some small JavaEmail only code (sorry)
and see if you can recreate things - then play a bit (look at the
network traffic with ethereal, try non-HTML mail in case your server
is unhappy with bad HTML (you'd think it'd only be the clients)).
