Mail doesn't get sent out using Apache Commons Mail

Question

I'm using version 1.3.3 Apache Commons Mail for sending out emails. I've tried

• changing the Apache mail version
• using telnet smtp.gmail.com 587 to test for connectivity (it works, so its not about the firewall)
• trying out with different ports
• setting SSL/ TSL and tried other bunch of methods
• configured my gmail to enable IMAP, POP

but still the mail is not sending out.

this is the debug message i had, googled for solution, but none that solve the problem i have

DEBUG: JavaMail version 1.4ea

and my code as of below,

MultiPartEmail email = new MultiPartEmail();
email.setSmtpPort(587);
email.setHostName("smtp.gmail.com");
email.setAuthentication("xxx@gmail.com", "xxx");
email.setDebug(true);
email.setStartTLSEnabled(true);
email.setFrom(from);
email.setSubject(subject);
email.setMsg(msg);
email.addTo(to);
email.attach(attachment);
email.send();

Answer 1

It seems you have a mailing mock service in your classpath. Guessing from the name I'd guess that this implementation won't send out a real mail.

So please try to remove that library from the classpath and try again.

I you use maven, you can set the scope of that mock dependency to test .
