I'm trying to use javamail in a groovy script to send out an email via gmail. I've looked many places online and have been unable to get it working thus far. The error I'm getting when running my script is:
DEBUG SMTP: useEhlo true, useAuth false
DEBUG SMTP: trying to connect to host "smtp.gmail.com", port 25, isSSL false
Caught: javax.mail.SendFailedException: Send failure (javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: smtp.gmail.com, port: 25 (javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Unrecognized SSL message, plaintext connection?))
It appears to be trying to use port 25 even though I've specified that it should use port 587. Does anyone know what could be causing this problem, I've used telnet to connect to the smtp server on port 587, and thunderbird uses port 587 with STARTTLS security and is able to successfully send mail using the smtp server. This tells me that it is not a blocked port or connectivity issue. Here is the code I'm using to try and send the email:
import javax.mail.*
import javax.mail.internet.*
private class SMTPAuthenticator extends Authenticator
{
public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication()
{
return new PasswordAuthentication('[email protected]', 'password');
}
}
def d_email = "[email protected]",
d_password = "password",
d_host = "smtp.gmail.com",
d_port = "587", //465,587
m_to = "[email protected]",
m_subject = "Testing",
m_text = "This is a test."
def props = new Properties()
props.put("mail.smtp.user", d_email)
props.put("mail.smtp.host", d_host)
props.put("mail.smtp.port", d_port)
props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable","true")
props.put("mail.smtp.debug", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true")
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", d_port)
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class", "javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory")
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback", "false")
def auth = new SMTPAuthenticator()
def session = Session.getInstance(props, auth)
session.setDebug(true);
def msg = new MimeMessage(session)
msg.setText(m_text)
msg.setSubject(m_subject)
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(d_email))
msg.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(m_to))
Transport.send(msg)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

This question is related to

In Java you would do something similar to:
Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtps");
transport.connect (smtp_host, smtp_port, smtp_username, smtp_password);
transport.sendMessage(msg, msg.getAllRecipients());
transport.close();
Note 'smtpS' protocol. Also socketFactory properties is no longer necessary in modern JVMs but you might need to set 'mail.smtps.auth' and 'mail.smtps.starttls.enable' to 'true' for Gmail. 'mail.smtps.debug' could be helpful too.
For anyone looking for a full solution, I got this working with the following code based on maximdim's answer:
import javax.mail.*
import javax.mail.internet.*
private class SMTPAuthenticator extends Authenticator
{
public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication()
{
return new PasswordAuthentication('[email protected]', 'test1234');
}
}
def d_email = "[email protected]",
d_uname = "email",
d_password = "password",
d_host = "smtp.gmail.com",
d_port = "465", //465,587
m_to = "[email protected]",
m_subject = "Testing",
m_text = "Hey, this is the testing email."
def props = new Properties()
props.put("mail.smtp.user", d_email)
props.put("mail.smtp.host", d_host)
props.put("mail.smtp.port", d_port)
props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable","true")
props.put("mail.smtp.debug", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true")
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", d_port)
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class", "javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory")
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback", "false")
def auth = new SMTPAuthenticator()
def session = Session.getInstance(props, auth)
session.setDebug(true);
def msg = new MimeMessage(session)
msg.setText(m_text)
msg.setSubject(m_subject)
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(d_email))
msg.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(m_to))
Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtps");
transport.connect(d_host, 465, d_uname, d_password);
transport.sendMessage(msg, msg.getAllRecipients());
transport.close();
Maybe useful for anyone else running into this issue: When setting the port on the properties:
props.put("mail.smtp.port", smtpPort);
..make sure to use a string object. Using a numeric (ie Long) object will cause this statement to seemingly have no effect.
