When configuring jenkins so that it uses localhost to send mails and test-send a mail, it fails.

After each update of jenkins we currently have to remove WEB-INF/lib/mail-*.jar and restart Tomcat, so that the system mail.jar is being used (which works). This seems to be:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 52 7. Dez 2011 /etc/alternatives/javamail -> /usr/share/java/classpathx-mail-1.3.1-monolithic.jar

which works fine.

The resulting exception is:

javax.mail.NoSuchProviderException: smtp
