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.
