How can I send an email without requiring a mail server and username:password to a specific for e.g.myemail@myserver.com email address? So basically I just have the message and a to-email address.

Is this the correct way to do it?

  • find the mail server using dns mx record of the myserver.com
  • Conncet and send an email using smtp to this address?

if yes, how do I do this in java?

some background info - I have webserver and I want to implement a feedback form to the web app user, the webserver gets this form in a POST request and sends this data to a specific email address

note: there are lots of examples using gmail, but then that needs a username password, I would like to avoid that

A smtp server is required in order to send the email. If you find the email server for @myserver.com doing a DNS MX lookup, you'll end connecting to that smtp server. So a server is required.
