Email sent from JamesServer are marked as spam. I am using JavaMail to connect to JamesServer to send emails.
To test spam, I am using the mail-tester.com site. This site tells me the email are marked as spam with a negative threshold for below:
-3.603 HELO_LOCALHOST HELO_LOCALHOST
I came across helo and ehlo parameter based on the site. To override helo and ehlo, I have used "mail.smtp.localhost" property. But I was able to change ehlo but I am not able to change helo value.
How do I change value of helo parameter?
Here is my java sample code:
import java.net.InetAddress;
import java.net.UnknownHostException;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Properties;
import javax.mail.MessagingException;
import javax.mail.PasswordAuthentication;
import javax.mail.Session;
import javax.mail.Transport;
import javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress;
import javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage;
public class TestSendMail {
private String fromEmail = "admin@xxxxxxxxxx.com";
public void sendmail() {
Properties properties = new Properties();
final String smtpHost = "xxxxxxxxxx.com";
String port = "25";
String strHostName = smtpHost;
try {
strHostName = InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName();
System.out.println(strHostName);
} catch (UnknownHostException e) {
}
properties.put("helo", strHostName );
properties.put("mail.host", strHostName );
properties.put("mail.smtp.localhost", strHostName );
properties.put("mail.smtps.localhost", strHostName);
properties.put("mail.smtp.host", smtpHost);
properties.put("mail.smtp.port", port);
properties.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
properties.put("mail.transport.protocol", "smtp");
Session session = Session.getInstance(properties,
new javax.mail.Authenticator() {
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication(fromEmail,"Welcome123!");
}
});
String toEmail = "web-3a2Lxc@mail-tester.com";
String replyTo = "noreply@" + smtpHost;
String messageBody = "<html><body>Test body</body></html>";
try {
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setSentDate(new Date());
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(fromEmail));
message.addRecipient(javax.mail.Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(toEmail));
message.setSubject("Test");
message.setReplyTo(new javax.mail.Address[]
{
new InternetAddress(replyTo)
});
message.setContent(messageBody, "text/html");
Transport.send(message);
System.out.println("Message sent successfully....");
} catch (MessagingException mex) {
mex.printStackTrace();
System.out.println(mex.getMessage());
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
TestSendMail send = new TestSendMail();
send.sendmail();
}
}
Here is my email log which I got it from mail-tester.com
