This should not happen  Can you try doing this  Use the system properties and set the property as below   Properties properties   System getProperties       Setup mail server properties setProperty  mail smtp host    10 101 3 229      And if you have a port associated  then set this as well   properties setProperty  mail smtp port    8080

I was also facing the same error  The reason for this is that there is no smtp server on your environment  For creating a fake smtp server I used this fake-smtp jar file for creating a virtual server and listening to all the requests  If you are facing the same error  I recommend you to use this jar and run it after extracting and then try to run your application    Download latest version of fake smtp

It is very clear from your exception that it is trying to connect to localhost and not to 10 101 3 229   exception snippet   Could not connect to SMTP host  localhost  port  25   1   Please check if there are any null check which is setting localhost as default value  2   After restarting  if it is working fine  then it means that only at first-run  the proper value is been taken from Properties and from next run the value is set to default  So keep the property-object as a singleton one and use it all-over your project

Try to set the property when starting JVM  for example  add -Djava net preferIPv4Stack true   You can t set it when code running  as the java net just read it when jvm starting   And about the root cause  this article give some hint  Why do I need java net preferIPv4Stack true only on some windows 7 systems
