Len,
Thanks very much for your help, my class is now working fine. Ironically
enough my smtp server is localhost as I use an ssh client to connect to my
Universities mailhost via the ssh connection and then my emails go via that.

You need to look at the SMTP server settings in Outlook Express and
use the same settings in your JavaMail config. The mail.smtp.host for
example shouldn't be "localhost", it should be whatever email server
Outlook Express uses (look in Tools > Accounts).

Thanks for the email Len,
So if that's the case where am I going wrong with my code to get the error
described in my first email? What settings do I need to change in my
current configuration to get my code to work?
Many thanks
Mark

Yes, you need an SMTP server. If you've got Outlook Express running,
you can use the same server it's using.
