JavaMail is free and is supported by Sun. It is available at
http://www.java.sun.com/products/javamail/index.html
JavaMail is implemented entirely in Java and is fully compatible with java,
jsp, etc. and, as such, is also processor independent. The site mentioned
above has all the information on how to download it, set it up, etc.
JavaMail is a optional java extension package (javax). The problem with
sendmail is that it is not processor/operating system independent and you
would have to develop the interface between java and that program.
The answer to the question as to why to use it is the same as why we use any
java provided package. We are paid to implement programs for our companies.
We do not need to continually reinvent work that has been completed,
debugged and is openly available. We need to do the job we were hired to
do. Why spend a lot of time and effort dealing with other mail interfaces
when javamail can be installed and in use within a JSP in under 2 hours?

How would you implement the javamail api
Do you need to download the javamail.
What are the steps involved to set this up?
Newbie @ java, please forgive....
What are the benifits of javamail over let's say sendmail program that are
out there that are free, etc...
