JavaMail API, Gmail-Auth and setFrom
email, gmail, jakarta-mail, java, sender
Solution
Google's SMTP server is preventing using a from address other than the one belonging to the account that has been authenticated. This is a security measure to prevent what is known as "spoofing". Perhaps you can try setting the reply-to to another value and see if Google will allow that.
Problem
for this app i'm following this example: http://pipoltek.blogspot.com/2008/02/sending-mail-using-gmail-smtp-server.html I can send emails, it looks good.....but i want to modify the sender email using this: ``` MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(mailSession); msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress("baba-jaga@gmail.com")); ``` baba-jaga@gmail.com is dummy E-Mail, is not mine :) When t use `setFrom`, i recive the email from this email, which i use to authenticate. Is the authentication the reason, which disable the `setFrom` method? I need to change the "from" email, because i want, that the recipient send me an replay to another email adress.
