Hi Karl, i will try the Java mail properties you described.
I only concentrated on getting a positive connection working status so far. But now i understand this is not possible because the connection check would only work for POP3 or IMAP mail hosts. However, sending mails might still work with the mentioned properties. I will report back. Authentication is not an issue for me at the moment because i am running on a host that trusted to do unauthenticated mail-in. Thanks Markus Am 13.
