Java Mail errors

[Narasimha Raju Naidu]

hi to all,

            I am new to java mail. i want to send an email from my system
using the following program:

-----------------------------------------------------------

import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import java.util.*;

public void postMail( String recipients[ ], String subject, String message ,
String from) throws MessagingException
{
  boolean debug = false;

  //Set the host smtp address
  Properties props = new Properties();
  props.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.jcom.net");

  // create some properties and get the default Session
  Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
  session.setDebug(debug);

  // create a message
  Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);

  // set the from and to address
  InternetAddress addressFrom = new InternetAddress(from);
  msg.setFrom(addressFrom);

  InternetAddress[] addressTo = new InternetAddress[recipients.length];
  for (int i = 0; i < recipients.length; i++)
  {
  addressTo[i] = new InternetAddress(recipients[i]);
  }
  msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, addressTo);


  // Optional : You can also set your custom headers in the Email if you
Want
  msg.addHeader("MyHeaderName", "myHeaderValue");

  // Setting the Subject and Content Type
  msg.setSubject(subject);
  msg.setContent(message, "text/plain");
  Transport.send(msg);
}
