In my GAE application, I am not able to send mail using Java mail api. I am getting following error.
javax.mail.MessagingException: Connection error (java.net.SocketException: Permission denied: Not allowed to issue a socket bind: permission denied.)

How can I get my application working?
Also if i use Transport.send(message); instead of creating an instance of Transport, I will not get any error messages, but the email will not be sent.
How can I fix it. somebody pl help me.
At last I found the answer... The problems was, Google does not allow you to use external mail ids (non gmail or non google mail-ids) and thus you can not configure connection properties to the transport object.
you can just specify your app engine admin mail-id at message.setFrom() and then simply send it using Transport.send();
In my case Transport.send() was doing nothing, simply because I was trying to send it from my local eclipse project. Google will send mails only from the application that are deployed.
So code your apllication, and if no errors, deploy it to app engine. Then the app will start sending mails.
refer This google developers page for more info.
Additionally, remove all Oracle javax.mail jars. Your app engine jar's by default have app-engine specific javax.mail classes
