Was planning to use SSL.
Jsp interface. I would log in using the email account username &
password. If they don't match the user can't send email.
The page would not be open to the public.

Would that work?

If the applet is the one actually sending the message, then you'd 
basically be providing an open relay.  What someone was suggesting was 
having your applet talk (via HTTP or some other protocol) to a servlet, 
and have the servlet connect to a local server.

Unless you have some fancy authentication happening with your email, 
hopefully you can see that allowing a mail server to relay email from 
any browser/Ip address would be an open relay. ;)
