Error sending email through the Java Mail API?

Question

Am I experiencing the following error while trying to send email through the Java Mail API? What does this error mean?

javax.mail.MessagingException: Exception reading response;
  nested exception is:
        java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out
javax.mail.MessagingException: Exception reading response;
  nested exception is:
        java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out

        at javax.mail.Transport.send(Transport.java:124)

Here is my code, I set all the parameters (from, to, themes and attachments)

public static void send(MailUtil mailUtil) throws MessagingException {
            MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
            if (props.getProperty(IConstants.DL_MAIL_CONFIGURATION.MAIL_SENDER) != null) {              
                message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(props.getProperty(IConstants.DL_MAIL_CONFIGURATION.MAIL_SENDER)));
            } else {
                message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(mailUtil.getFrom()));
            }
            message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,
                    InternetAddress.parse(mailUtil.getTo()));
            if (mailUtil.getBcc() != null && mailUtil.getBcc().trim().length() > 0) {
                message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.BCC, InternetAddress.parse(mailUtil.getBcc()));
            } else {
                message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.BCC,InternetAddress.parse(""));
            }

            message.setSubject(mailUtil.getSubject(), "UTF-8");

            // Check for files list and attach them.
            if (mailUtil.attachmentFiles != null && mailUtil.attachmentFiles.size() > 0) {
                Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();

                // Set content.
                BodyPart messageBodyPart =new MimeBodyPart();
                messageBodyPart.setContent(mailUtil.getContent(), "text/plain; charset=utf-8");
                multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);

                // Attach files.
                for (File file : mailUtil.attachmentFiles) {
                    messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
                    DataSource source = new FileDataSource(file);
                    messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
                    messageBodyPart.setFileName(file.getName());
                    multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
                }

                message.setContent(multipart);
            } else {
                //message.setContent("<h1>Hello world</h1>", "text/html");
                message.setContent(mailUtil.getContent(), "text/html; charset=UTF-8");
            }           
            Transport.send(message);
    }

I just think there are any problems with my settings?

Below is my configuration

mail.smtp.port=465
mail.smtp.starttls.enable=true
mail.smtp.auth=true
mail.smtp.socketFactory.port=465
mail.smtp.socketFactory.class=javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory
mail.smtp.timeout=25000

mail.smtp.host=smtp.gmail.com
mail.username = [e-mail]
mail.password = mypassword
mail.sender = [e-mail]
mail.receiver = [e-mail]
mail.subject = mysubject

I use the Google mail server! I don’t think there is a problem!

Below is the start of the session.

final String userName = props.getProperty(IConstants.DL_MAIL_CONFIGURATION.MAIL_USERNAME);
final String passWord = props.getProperty(IConstants.DL_MAIL_CONFIGURATION.MAIL_PASSWORD);

session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, new javax.mail.Authenticator() {
                    protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
                        return new PasswordAuthentication(userName,
                                passWord);
                    }
            });

I believe that this is absolutely related to the server configuration. When I change the port configuration from 465 to 587, it solves my problem! In any case, thank you for your help!

, "mail" , , , :

private Properties props;
props = System.getProperties();
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.gmail.com");
props.put("mail.smtp.port", "587"); 

session = Session.getInstance(props,
    new javax.mail.Authenticator() {
        protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
            return new PasswordAuthentication(username, password);
        }
      });
try {
        message.setFrom(new InternetAddress("YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS HERE"));
        message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress("RECEIVER EMAIL ADDRESS HERE"));
        message.setSubject("SUBJECT");

        message.setText("THE EMAIL TEXT");
        Transport.send(message);
    } catch (MessagingException e) {e.printStackTrace();}
}

Your code and configuration contain many of the common errors . In particular, using Session.getDefaultInstance may mean that you are not using the configuration that you think you are using . If the fix does not solve your problem, publish the debug output of the JavaMail session .
