Java mail works using gmail as host but not godaddy

Question

I am currently working on forgot password feature and I am using javax.mail. I tried smtp.gmail.com as my host and it worked fine in local and live server. The link below, you can see there's a mailed-by and signed-by gmail.

However, using smtpout.secureserver.net will only work in local server.

In live server, it says Could not connect to SMTP host: smtpout.secureserver.net, port: 465, response: 554. And, I don't see signed-by and mailed-by when viewing the email even in local server.

Do I really need to buy a certificate from GoDaddy to seesigned-by and mailed-by? Also, could this be the reason why it won't work in live server? I am sorry I'm really new to this.

Here's the code:

public class Mailer {
    Message message;
    Transport transport;
    Properties props;

    private String userName = "my@email.com";
    private String passWord = "password@123";
    private String protocol = "smtp";
    private String host = "smtpout.secureserver.net";
    private String port = "465";
    private String socketFactoryClass = "javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory";


    private final String
        MAIL_SMTP_START_TLS_ENABLE          =           "mail.smtp.starttls.enable",
        MAIL_SMTP_AUTH                      =           "mail.smtp.auth",
        MAIL_TRANSPORT_PROTOCOL             =           "mail.transport.protocol",
        MAIL_DEBUG                          =           "mail.debug",
        MAIL_SMTP_PORT                      =           "mail.smtp.port",
        MAIL_SMTP_HOST                      =           "mail.smtp.host",
        MAIL_SMTP_SOCKETFACTORY_PORT        =           "mail.smtp.socketFactory.port",
        MAIL_SMTP_SOCKETFACTORY_CLASS       =           "mail.smtp.socketFactory.class",
        MAIL_SMTP_SSL_ENABLE                =           "mail.smtp.ssl.enable";

 public Mailer() {
        setProperties();
    }

    public void setProperties() {
        props = System.getProperties();
        props.put(MAIL_SMTP_AUTH, true);
//      props.put(MAIL_SMTP_START_TLS_ENABLE, true);
        props.put(MAIL_DEBUG, true);
        props.put(MAIL_TRANSPORT_PROTOCOL, protocol);
        props.put(MAIL_SMTP_PORT, port);
        props.put(MAIL_SMTP_HOST, host);
        props.put(MAIL_SMTP_SSL_ENABLE, true);

//      props.put(MAIL_SMTP_SOCKETFACTORY_PORT, String.valueOf(port) );
//      props.put(MAIL_SMTP_SOCKETFACTORY_CLASS, socketFactoryClass);       
    }

public void sendPasswordToEmail (String recipientEmail, User user) throws Exception {
    Session session = Session.getInstance(props,null);
    MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);

    try {
        message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(userName));
        message.addRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, InternetAddress.parse(recipientEmail));         
        message.setSubject("Forgot Password Request");

        StringBuffer messageBuffer = new StringBuffer();
        messageBuffer.append("My Web App Portal");        
        messageBuffer.append("Here's your login details: 

");
        messageBuffer.append("Username: "+user.getLoginUser()+"
");
        messageBuffer.append("Password: "+user.getPassword()+"

 ");
        message.setContent(messageBuffer.toString(), "text/html; charset=utf-8");

        message.setSentDate(new Date());

        Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtp");
        transport.connect(host, userName, passWord);
        transport.sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients());
        transport.close();

    }catch(AuthenticationFailedException ex) {
        System.out.println(ex.getMessage());
    }
}

Thank you very much.
