Hi The following code causes an error. Please help me understand what's wrong.
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import java.util.*;
public class SendMail
{
  public static void main(String [] args)throws MessagingException
  {
    SendMail sm=new SendMail();
     sm.postMail(new String[]{"[email protected]"},"hi","hello","[email protected]");
   }
public void postMail( String recipients[ ], String subject, String message , String from) throws MessagingException
{
    boolean debug = false;
     //Set the host smtp address
     Properties props = new Properties();
     props.put("mail.smtp.host", "webmail.emailmyname.com");
    // create some properties and get the default Session
    Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
    session.setDebug(debug);
    // create a message
    Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
    // set the from and to address
    InternetAddress addressFrom = new InternetAddress(from);
    msg.setFrom(addressFrom);
    InternetAddress[] addressTo = new InternetAddress[recipients.length]; 
    for (int i = 0; i < recipients.length; i++)
    {
        addressTo[i] = new InternetAddress(recipients[i]);
    }
    msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, addressTo);
    // Optional : You can also set your custom headers in the Email if you Want
    msg.addHeader("MyHeaderName", "myHeaderValue");
    // Setting the Subject and Content Type
    msg.setSubject(subject);
    msg.setContent(message, "text/plain");
    Transport.send(msg);
}
}
