		//e.printStackTrace();
	} 
	catch (MessagingException e) 
	{
		wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportWarning(e.getLocalizedMessage());
		//e.printStackTrace();
	}


// and this is my Authenticator class:


   	private class Authenticator extends javax.mail.Authenticator {
 		private PasswordAuthentication authentication;
 
 		public Authenticator() {
			String username = "backoffice";  //auth-user
  			String password = "bckffice";   //auth-password
  			authentication = new PasswordAuthentication(username, password);
			
  		}
  
  		protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
  			return authentication;
 		}
 		

  	}

Giassu Grigoria,

Interesting. You have implemented the Authenticator, you have instantiated the object, but you have never used it!!!

The javax.mail.Authenticator is supposed to be provided to the SMTP session object (javax.mail.Session). Then the session is wrapped inside the javax.mail.Message as a constuctor parameter.

You can see a good Java Mail API example [here|http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/3328].

Good luck!
