Question about Mail task
I just tried using Ant's mail task for the first time and found something a bit odd: it gave me an error message but it worked anyway.
My task is:
<mail mailhost="smtp1.sympatico.ca" mailport="25" subject="Update of Doug's Movies">
<from address="${doug.email}"/>
<replyto address="${doug.email}"/>
<to address="${rhino.email}"/>
<message>Blah blah blah.</message>
</mail>
The message was created and sent without any apparent difficulty. However, the output from the build for this task was:
[mail] Failed to initialise MIME mail: javax/mail/MessagingException
[mail] Sending email: Update of Doug's Movies
[mail] Sent email with 0 attachments
What do I need to do to eliminate the MessagingException message?
I am using Ant 1.6.1 on Windows XP.

Thank you, that solved the problem!
The thing I don't understand is why my mail was sent successfully *despite*
the error I was getting. I didn't have either mail.jar or activation.jar in
my ${ANT_HOME}/lib directory. That suggests that neither jar is actually
needed to send email.
Did I simply get lucky because I was sending an email from one of my email
IDs to the other?

I think the error cames from the fact that ant tries
to pick up mail.jar and send email via it. If it can't
find mail.jar it issues error and fall back of the its
own implemenation of mail sending and that is your
sending is successful anyway.
