Re: Localhost corrupted when contacting SMTP server with javamail

These are fixed values passed in a String, not variables.
It seems that javamail ignores the mail.smtp.localhost value and use
something
which is somewhere in Websphere's configuration, but where ? not a clue
yet.

I'd take a look at both your serveurSmtpProvider and monAdresseIP values
that are passed in your PC test server and the Websphere host. See how
they compare. It appears that the value may have changed since your last
restart (although I can't explain why).

Hello,

Something strange happened when I restarted websphere after adding a
java.awt.headless=true in the customized properties of JVM.

The applications running on the system i send emails through javamail 1.3.

The code is like that :
mailProps = System.getProperties();
mailProps.put("mail.smtp.host", serveurSmtpProvider);
mailProps.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
mailProps.put("mail.smtp.localhost", monAdresseIP);
PasswordAuthentication pa = new PasswordAuthentication(profil,
motdepasse);
Session mailSession = Session.getInstance(mailProps, new
SmtpAuthenticator());

It has been working perfectly since eons.

Since I restarted websphere, the SMTP server refuses the connection,
because it receives a host name
wich is like "theNameOfMyPreviousAS400@myDomainName".
So I see in the debug :
EHLO "theNameOfMyPreviousAS400@myDomainName" invalid domain name.

The same java classes running from my PC with the test server embedded in
WDSC work fine,
the smtp server replies as expected :
EHLO "monAdresseIP" pleased to meet you and processes the email.

I've checked everything I thought of : the host table, the domain name,
Apache and Websphere configuration...
Nothing looking like this unexpected host address.

Thanks in advance for any hint you can provide, I'm getting a big headache
here...
