Ant task fails to send email on one computer on another it is successful

I've got this ant task working(sending email) on my machine :

<project name="send_mail_test" default="send_mail_test">
<property name="report" value="${report}" />
<property name="build" value="${build}" />
<property name="env" value="${env}" />
<property name="resultFile" value="${resultFile}" />

<target name="send_mail_test">
    <mail encoding="mime" mailhost="mailserver.intranet.lan" subject="[REPORT] ${build} on ${env} environment - Test report" tolist="[email protected]">
<!-- FROM and REPLY TO email addresses -->
      <from address="[email protected]"/>
      <replyto address="[email protected]"/>

      <message>Some body message

      </message>

      <attachments>
        <fileset dir="${report}" includes="${resultFile}.html"/>
      </attachments>
    </mail>
</target>
</project>

This is how I start the above script to run(send_mail.xml) :

ant -f send_mail.xml -Dreport=C:\TESTING\results -Denv=DEV -Dbuild=1.0.1 -DresultFile=result-2012-07-17-11-03-25.html

It's successful from my computer(windows 7), but from another windows xp it's not. This is the error that I get :

Buildfile: C:\TESTING\setup\send_mail.xml

send_mail_test:
     [mail] Sending email: [REPORT] C:\TESTING\results on DEV environment - Test report
     [mail] Failed to send email: Could not connect to SMTP host: mailserver.intranet.lan, port: 25

BUILD FAILED
C:\TESTING\setup\send_mail.xml:8: Problem while sending mime mail:

Total time: 0 seconds

I realize that I cannot connect to the mailserver, but what do I do? What do I take a look at the possible reason for not being able to connect?

SOLUTION : I installed linux on this box.

  • check network connections
  • check reachability of other services
  • check firewall settings (especially for the java executable running ant)
  • check if the problem is temporary
  • check if it is still possible to do this from the other machine, may be the mail-server is down
  • talk to someone that is responsible for the network - if it's not you
