This task has been deprecated. Use the mail task instead.
Sends SMTP mail with MIME
attachments. Jakarta Mail
and Jakarta
Activation are required for this task. The Java
Activation Framework is part of the standard class library for Java 6
to Java 10 but the java.activation module has been
deprecated in Java 9 and must be enabled explicitly when running on
Java 10. Alternatively it can be provided as an external
library. Javamail has become Jakarta Mail and the Java activation
Framework has become Jakarta Activation and both are part of the
Jakarta effort at Eclipse.
