Have you tried starting the JVM with -Dsocket.permit_connect=true ? Or
maybe enable the permission to open sockets in the catalina policy files
towards the smtp server, So maybe adding permission rule that looks
something like this:
grant codeBase "file:${catalina.base}/webapps/<your_app>/-" {
permission java.net.SocketPermission "<smtp_server_ip>:25", "connect";
};
to /etc/tomcat6/policy.d/50local.policy might help. Sorry I only use
linux/unix wouldn't know where exactly the policy files are on
windows.
