email with picture as an attachment

thanks Mihai

I tried SMTP for simple text messages first

problem is, I am receiving the mails but message body is empty

here is the code:

sc = (SocketConnection)Connector.open("socket://"+smtpServerAddress+":25");

is = sc.openInputStream();

os = sc.openOutputStream();

os.write(("HELO there" + "\r\n").getBytes());

os.write(("MAIL FROM: "+ from +"\r\n").getBytes());

os.write(("RCPT TO: "+ to + "\r\n").getBytes());

os.write("DATA\r\n".getBytes());

// stamp the msg with date

os.write(("Date: " + new Date() + "\r\n").getBytes());

os.write(("From: "+from+"\r\n").getBytes());

os.write(("To: "+to+"\r\n").getBytes());

os.write(("Subject: "+subject+"\r\n").getBytes());

os.write((msg+"\r\n").getBytes()); // message body

os.write(".\r\n".getBytes());

os.write("QUIT\r\n".getBytes());

hi Mihai

I did this and it's displaying the msg (before converting into bytes)

and also after converting msg into bytes i tried (msg+"\r\n").getBytes() and it displaying bytes means it is not null

also If I am sending mails to gmail or yahoo it gives me the error:

SMTP server response -

220 dnsconsultant (IMail 7.15 2462-1) NT-ESMTP Server X1

250 hello dnsconsultant

250 ok

550 not local host gmail.com, not a gateway

503 No recipient(s).

502 unimplemented command

502 unimplemented command

502 unimplemented command

502 unimplemented command

502 unimplemented command

502 unimplemented command

221 Closing connection. Good bye.

so if I want to send mails to/from any (yahoo, gmail and etc...) e-mail addresses what will be the smtpServerAddress

and is there any other configuraton needed?

thanks

I got you guys

my question is:

If I want to send an Image to an email address from an email address

solution:

I think no other way other than using smtp and all configurations as you have mentioned

but dont you think this is quite complecated process for front-end j2me application?

what I am thinking is I do an Http push with parameters like

(i) to email,

(II) from email and

(III) data, which contains Bytes of Image

and my back-end application will send e-mail as what i want

is it possible and doable and efficient?
