Re: Java mail

["James Perkins" <jrperkinsjr@xxxxxxxxx>]

JavaMail should send to a mobile phone without a problem. If you are adding
the "SMTP" before the address, drop that. So the address should be "
5403120619@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx <SMTP%3A5403120619@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>''.

My guess is that the : (colon) is the illegal character.

Hope this helps,
James R. Perkins
