Dr. Lyons,
We need (I think) a SMTP server to successfully send the email
required in
the midterm project. Can we use www.docjava.com for this?
ANS: Yes, here is a sample:
> telnet www.docjava.com 25
Trying 24.191.32.175...
Connected to docjava.dhs.org.
Escape character is '^]'.

The student also asks:
In your example you have:
if (serverHostName == null) serverHostName =
getCodeBase().getHost();
Is this a way to get a SMTP server? I am not sure where
these
methods come from.
Ans:The methods come from the Applet class
and obtain the web host name.
