Description

Per the JavaMail Javadoc (https://javamail.java.net/nonav/docs/api/), the standard property for the from address is "mail.from", not "mail.smtp.from".

This incorrect value causes sending emails to fail if using a Session provided by an EE container that properly sets the from address. Observed on WildFly 8.2.0.Final.

Workaround: add the "mail.smtp.from" value to the session properties. You don't need to set the actual value, the fact that it's there is enough:

session.getProperties().setProperty(EmailConstants.MAIL_SMTP_FROM, "");
