See the JNDI Resources HOWTO: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html Specifically, there is this passage under "Configure Tomcat's Resource Factory" (the one for "mail/Session"... there are like 5 of those titles in the JNDI HOWTO but only one for SMTP): " Additional resource attributes and values will be converted to properties and values and passed to javax.mail.Session.getInstance(java.util.Properties) as part of the java.util.Properties collection. In addition to the properties defined in Annex A of the JavaMail specification, individual providers may also support additional properties like password. " You can find big lists of properties that can you set in the following locations: http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/javadocs/javax/mail/package-summary.html http://javamail.kenai.com/nonav/javadocs/com/sun/mail/smtp/package-summary.html http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/javadocs/javax/mail/internet/package-summary.html > I suppose it's time to set up postfix.
