re: JAVA Mail and SMTP

I don't understand your problem; it's like an ordinary letter: you can't just throw
it up in the air and hope for the best. You have to get your letter to a post office
one way or another. Think of that post office as an SMTP server.

Most (if not all) SMTP servers only accept incoming mail from senders in
the same domain (a feeble attempt to avoid spam etc. because you can forge
sender addresses quite easily).

kind regards,
