This is a Java SMTP Service that was made it as an alternative use of local SMTP commands.

Java SMTP Standalone Service

This SMTP Service was made as an alternative use of local SMTP commands, like when your application server hasn't commands to execute a SMTP service or you don't had permission to install 3rd party software.

How to run

This is a simple Java Standalone application, so you only need Java 1.7+ installed on your environment to execute it. The command to do it is the next:

java -jar <pathToJar>/JavaSMTPService.jar

By default the jar search for the default configuration file called "defaultSMTP.conf", to create it use the next command and set all information needed to call a SMTP Service:

java -jar <pathToJar>/JavaSMTPService.jar configure

In case you want to use your own configuration file you have to send the path of the file ypu want to use:

java -jar <pathToJar>/JavaSMTPService.jar /path/to/configure/file.conf

Make a Configure File

If you don't want to use the command to make a configure file, you have to respect the next structure of the file:

• SMTP_HOST PORT
• TO_EMAIL,TO_EMAIL2,...<space>[TO_EMAIL_CC,TO_EMAIL_CC2,...]<space>[TO_EMAIL_BCC,TO_EMAIL_BCC2,...]
• FROM_EMAIL PASSWORD
• TLS|SSL|NONE <= Only one of this options
• FROM_NAME
• SUBJECT
• BODY_MESSAGE
• [ATTACHMENT,ATTACHMENT2,...]

NOTE: Attributes in brackets [ ] are optional.

How it works

You need to execute the jar from the application you need to use a SMTP service, the jar will read the configuration file and invoke a SMTP service inside and send the email with the registered information inside the file. The jar will return an exit code 0 if email was successfully send it or an error code and message error like this:

• 101 - File not found.
• 102 - I/O Error.
• 103 - Mail not sent + error msg.
