Unable to send an email using SMTP (Getting javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not convert socket to TLS;)
I have written the following code for sending email using javamail API through SMTP as TLS as SSL is not supported but I ended up with the following exception. Please see my code below. I have used debugging mode and below the code you can find the exception as well.
import java.util.Properties;
import javax.mail.Message;
import javax.mail.MessagingException;
import javax.mail.PasswordAuthentication;
import javax.mail.Session;
import javax.mail.Transport;
import javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress;
import javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage;
public class SendMailTLS {
public static void main(String[] args) {
final String username = "[email protected]";
final String password = "***********";
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.host", "mail.mydomain.com");
props.put("mail.smtp.debug", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.port", "587");
Session session = Session.getInstance(props,
new javax.mail.Authenticator() {
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication(username, password);
}
});
session.setDebug(true);
try {
Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom(new
InternetAddress("[email protected]"));
message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,
InternetAddress.parse("[email protected]"));
message.setSubject("Testing Subject");
message.setText("Dear Mail Crawler,"
+ "\n\n No spam to my email, please!");
Transport.send(message);
System.out.println("Done");
} catch (MessagingException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
}

Can anyone help me debug this? Thanks in advance!
Answer
I resolved this issue by just commenting the below property
props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true");
and the code got executed with no errors or warning or simply delete this line from the above source code. It is working like a charm till date.
