When I read your problem description, the first thing I think of is that the
format of your mail message is not correct. Outlook Express might not be so
strict and render your mail message without any problems while other email
clients require a proper formatted email.

Subject: Javamail not working with non-Outlook Express users.
System setup: Windows Server 2003, Tomcat5.0.16, and IIS6.0.
My mail server sends email messages successfully when the user has Outlook
Express set up on their desktop, but non-Outlook Express users get the
following servlet error messages:
HTTP Status 500 - type Exception report
message description: The server encountered an internal error () that
prevented it from fulfilling this request.

Questions:
1. My mail server permits messages to be relayed, and the email messages
do work with Outlook Express. What do I need to add/change in the above
code to get the messaging to work in all cases?
2. Does JavaMail only work with Outlook Express?
3. Is there some additional software that I need to be using to get
JavaMail to work in all cases?
Please advise,
Thanks
