Add the appropriate code to your application&#8217;s configuration file on the VPS container.<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-javascript\">\r\npackage com.mkyong.common;\r\nimport java.util.Properties;\r\nimport javax.mail.Message;\r\nimport javax.mail.MessagingException;\r\nimport javax.mail.PasswordAuthentication;\r\nimport javax.mail.Session;\r\nimport javax.mail.Transport;\r\nimport javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress;\r\nimport javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage;\r\npublic class SendMailTLS {\r\npublic static void main(String[] args) {\r\nProperties props = new Properties();\r\nprops.put(\"mail.smtp.auth\", \"false\");\r\nprops.put(\"mail.smtp.starttls.enable\", \"false\");\r\nprops.put(\"mail.smtp.host\", \"host\");\r\nprops.put(\"mail.smtp.port\", \"25\");\r\ntry {\r\nSession session = Session.getInstance(props);\r\nMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);\r\nmessage.setFrom(new InternetAddress(\"from-email@jelastic.com\"));\r\nmessage.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,\r\nInternetAddress.parse(\"to-email@jelastic.com\"));\r\nmessage.setSubject(\"Testing Subject\");\r\nmessage.setText(\"Text of the message\");\r\nTransport.send(message);\r\nSystem.out.println(\"Done\");\r\n} catch (MessagingException e) {\r\nthrow new RuntimeException(e);\r\n}\r\n}\r\n}\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>That&#8217;s it!
