Problem sending email

[germandev.net-seam.wje-online.de]

Hi!

I created a test project to test mail sending two weeks ago, and this project is still running on my JBoss AS 4.2.

I now wanted to integrate this functionality into my current project, but it refuses to work.

This is what I did:

I inserted the following (still) working configuration from the test project into the components.xml:

<mail:mail-session host="mail.my-server.de" password="mypw" port="25" username="[e-mail]"/>

Then I created the following test message file mail.xhtml (that is copied from the seam mail example):

 
   <m:message xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
           xmlns:m="http://jboss.com/products/seam/mail"
           xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html">

          <m:from name="Peter" address="[e-mail]" />
          <m:to name="Willi Eggeling">[e-mail]</m:to>
          <m:subject>Try out Seam!</m:subject>
          <m:body>
              <p><h:outputText value="Dear Peter" />,</p>
        <p>You can try out Seam by visiting <a href="http://www.seamframework.org">http://www.seamframework.org</a>.</p>
        <p>Regards</p>
        <p>Peter</p>
    </m:body>
</m:message>

With this message file and the configuration, the test projects sends me the mail, while my real project produces the following error:

Do you know what the problem might be and why it is running on one project and it doesn't on the other one?

Thank you in advance!
