I am developing a GWT application and I want to send an Email via a Servlet. The application is still running in development mode.

I am trying to use javamail. And I look into one answer in the StackOverflow, but I don't know how to set up the SMTP server. Is that mean I need to do some configuration on the server side of my GWT application? Thanks for anyone helping me.

First, look up SMTP to understand what it is.

Second, you could set up your own SMTP server (for example like this), but this has all kinds of security implications. IMHO it's better to use a SMTP server of your email provider. For example gmail smtp or similar.

  • Thank you. I am not going to set my own SMTP server. I will just use GMail SMTP server. – John Dec 26 '11 at 22:17
