It seems as if a direct socket connection is not possible.

If a direct socket connection were not possible, how do you think
anyone *ever* manages to send mail?

Since you haven't given any indication *how* it fails, here are some
clues to help you help yourself:

- read RFC2821 describing SMTP. In particular, make sure you are
sending the correct line endings (CRLF) after each command, instead
of hoping that PrintStream gets it right.

- read and display the server's responses to your commands in order to
get an idea of what is failing.

That said, you might consider using JavaMail instead of reinventing
the wheel.
