How can I send an email with an attachment using Gmail's servers, but without JavaMail?
I have come across this code.
How to authenticate when using this code (using my gmail account as a sender)? Can this code be edited in a way that subject can be specified? I'm guessing that file.txt acts as an attachment?
EDIT: Here's the code from the link, adapted to my need's (more or less). Only difference is file location, smtp server and "from" and "to" strings.
public static void blabla() throws IOException, UnknownHostException {
String msgFile = "C:\\file.txt";
String from = "myemailaccount@gmail.com";
String to = "otheremailaccount@gmail.com";
String mailHost = "smtp.gmail.com";
SMTP mail = new SMTP(mailHost);
if (mail != null) {
if (mail.send(new FileReader(msgFile), from, to)) {
System.out.println("Mail sent.");
} else {
System.out.println("Connect to SMTP server failed!");
}
}
System.out.println("Done.");
}
static class SMTP {
private final static int SMTP_PORT = 25;
InetAddress mailHost;
InetAddress localhost;
BufferedReader in;
PrintWriter out;
public SMTP(String host) throws UnknownHostException {
mailHost = InetAddress.getByName(host);
localhost = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
System.out.println("mailhost = " + mailHost);
System.out.println("localhost= " + localhost);
System.out.println("SMTP constructor done\n");
}
@SuppressWarnings({"resource", "unused"})
public boolean send(FileReader msgFileReader, String from, String to)
throws IOException {
Socket smtpPipe;
InputStream inn;
OutputStream outt;
BufferedReader msg;
msg = new BufferedReader(msgFileReader);
smtpPipe = new Socket(mailHost, SMTP_PORT);
if (smtpPipe == null) {
return false;
}
inn = smtpPipe.getInputStream();
outt = smtpPipe.getOutputStream();
in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inn));
out = new PrintWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(outt), true);
if (inn == null || outt == null) {
System.out.println("Failed to open streams to socket.");
return false;
}
String initialID = in.readLine();
System.out.println(initialID);
System.out.println("HELO " + localhost.getHostName());
out.println("HELO " + localhost.getHostName());
String welcome = in.readLine();
System.out.println(welcome);
System.out.println("MAIL From:<" + from + ">");
out.println("MAIL From:<" + from + ">");
String senderOK = in.readLine();
System.out.println(senderOK);
System.out.println("RCPT TO:<" + to + ">");
out.println("RCPT TO:<" + to + ">");
String recipientOK = in.readLine();
System.out.println(recipientOK);
System.out.println("DATA");
out.println("DATA");
String line;
while ((line = msg.readLine()) != null) {
out.println(line);
}
System.out.println(".");
out.println(".");
String acceptedOK = in.readLine();
System.out.println(acceptedOK);
System.out.println("QUIT");
out.println("QUIT");
return true;
}
