You havent provided your SMTP connection right i guess. Check your smtp settings in authentication..!!

The first line says it all :

javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: your.smtp.host, port: 25;
  nested exception is:

instead of your.smtp.host there must be url of the smtp you ar eusing like smtp.gmail.com etc

EDIT : sample gmail connection code

Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(mailProperties, new javax.mail.Authenticator() {
            @Override
            protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
                return new PasswordAuthentication(mailProperties.getProperty("mail.smtp.from"), "mail.smtp.password");
            }
        });
        try {

            Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
            message.setFrom(new InternetAddress("xyz@gmail.com"));
            InternetAddress address[] = new InternetAddress[4];
            address = InternetAddress.parse(toMail, false);
            message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, address);
            address = InternetAddress.parse("reciepents@xyz.com", false);
            message.addRecipients(Message.RecipientType.CC, address);
            message.setSubject(subject);

            BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
            messageBodyPart.setText(body);
            Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
            multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
            Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtps");
            transport.connect("smtp.gmail.com", 465, "xyz@gmail.com", "pasword here");
            transport.sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients());
            transport.close();
        } catch (MessagingException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
