Posting to newsgroups with JavaMail

I'm playing around with the Javamail API and am having a problem posting
to Usenet using the API. When I execute, I get the message:

mailtest:
[java] javax.mail.NoSuchProviderException: No provider for nntp
[java] at javax.mail.Session.getProvider(Session.java:289)
[java] at javax.mail.Session.getTransport(Session.java:483)
[java] javax.mail.NoSuchProviderException: No provider for nntp
[java] at javax.mail.Session.getTransport(Session.java:464)
[java] at javax.mail.Session.getTransport(Session.java:450)
[java] at other.MailTest.sendNews(MailTest.java:28)
[java] at other.MailTest.main(MailTest.java:85)

Where is the NNTP provider defined? I've included all JARs from the
javamail directory in my classpath and nothing's doing the trick. Any
help?

JavaMail does not come with a NNTP provider. But there are several 3pp
providers available. Serach the web, and have a look at Sun's JavaMail
FAQ at the Sun web site.

I suspect you are doing a Session.send instead of Session.sendMessage.

The answers to most beginner Java questions are in the
Java glossary indexed and cross-indexed by keyword.
It is usually faster to look them up there than ask
here and wait for a response. See:

No luck. You're right, though, I was using send(Message) and setting the
newsgroup list via setRecipients(). Someone else suggested the software
for nntp wasn't included in JavaMail. Is this your experience as well?

That was me, and if you check Sun's FAQ for JavaMail, esp.

http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/FAQ.html#otherprovs

you will see that Sun agree with me :-)
