Mail-service not woking

[mohitbaskota]

Hello

I am trying to run the vertx mail-service examples. The verticle gets started but the mail is not being sent.

Following is what i am doing in a start method of a verticle

MailConfig mailConfig = new MailConfig()
.setHostname("smtp.gmail.com")
.setPort(465)
.setStarttls(StartTLSOptions.REQUIRED)
.setLogin(LoginOption.REQUIRED)
.setAuthMethods("PLAIN")
.setUsername("abc@abc.com")
.setPassword("abc");

    MailClient mailClient = MailClient.createShared(vertx, mailConfig);

    MailMessage email = new MailMessage()
            .setFrom("user1@example.com")
            .setTo("abc@abc.com")
            .setSubject("Test email with HTML")
            .setText("this is a message")
            .setHtml("<a href=\"http://vertx.io\">vertx.io</a>");

    mailClient.sendMail(email, result -> {
        if (result.succeeded()) {
            System.out.println(result.result());
        } else {
            System.out.println("got exception");
            result.cause().printStackTrace();
        }
    });
}

When sendMail is called, its handler is never called. no action is performed.

your configuration is wrong. To send a mail from Gmail, use:

MailConfig mailConfig = new MailConfig()
        .setHostname("smtp.gmail.com")
        .setPort(465)
        .setSsl(true)
        .setLogin(LoginOption.REQUIRED)
        .setAuthMethods("PLAIN")
        ....

private static MailClient getEmailClient() {
config.setHostname("smtp.gmail.com");
config.setPort(465);
config.setSsl(true);
config.setLogin(LoginOption.REQUIRED);
config.setUsername("xxx");
config.setPassword("xxx");
config.setAuthMethods("PLAIN");
mailClient = MailClient.createShared(vert, config);
eMessage.setFrom("xxx@gmail.com");
eMessage.setTo("xxx@gmail.com");
eMessage.setSubject("Test email");
eMessage.setText("this is the plain message text");
eMessage.setHtml("this is html text <a href="http://vertx.io\">vertx.io");
return mailClient;
}

exception on connect
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Failed to create SSL connection

i tried this and it keeps throwing this exception
