Hi folks, I was looking for a simple utility to help me send email to smtp servers securely. I initially tried to use javamail, but ran into issues with javamail. Since javamail depends on activation framework, which in turn depends on the awt and some native code, I searched for alternatives.

I came across the gnu inetlib libraries that is 100% java. It depends on portions of the gnu classpath libraries. I downloaded the source code from gnu, and stripped out most of the classes that weren't needed (also stripped out the awt dependencies).

So far, I've been able to use the smtp code from inetlib. I haven't tested the other protocols. If anyone is interested in using and helping verify a few protocols, let me know.
