没有SMTP的JavaMail

Question

I am using Javamail API to send notification mails from my application but , the network administrator gave me mail host as mail.mycompany.com , how to use this with in Javamail without specifiying the smtp.

it is like mail.google.com instead of smtp.gmail.com

so mine should be smtp.mycompany.com instead he gave me mail.mycompany.com

what to tell the administrator about this? I also tried to ping smtp.mycompany.com it is not pinging , it says ping request could not find the host. Any idea what is going on ?

Note : smtp.mycompany.com is example address

 props.put("mail.smtp.host", "stmp.mycompany.com");
        props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", "587");
        props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class",              
        "javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory");
        props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
        props.put("mail.smtp.port", "587");

Thanks

If mail.mycompany.com is an SMTP server you should still use it for SMTP.
The name is not important here but the service which is provided by this server.
