Centos7, tomcat 9, Exim 4.94
Moved all my tomcat apps from centos6 to centos7 server. Tomcat version is 9 and was the same on both servers.
I send email from one of the java apps.
public void sendEmail(String toAddress,
String subject, String message) throws AddressException,
MessagingException {
// sets SMTP server properties
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
properties.put("mail.smtp.port", port);
properties.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
properties.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "false");
// creates a new session with an authenticator
Authenticator auth = new Authenticator() {
@Override
public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication(user, pass);
}
};
Session session = Session.getInstance(properties, auth);
// creates a new e-mail message
Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(user));
InternetAddress[] toAddresses = { new InternetAddress(toAddress) };
msg.setReplyTo(new javax.mail.Address[] {new javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress(replyTo)});
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, toAddresses);
msg.setSubject(subject);
msg.setSentDate(new Date());
msg.setText(message);
// sends the e-mail
Transport.send(msg);
}
the variables host = my IP, port = 25
sending from the commandline works fine
mail -s "Test Subject" [email protected] < /dev/null
sending from the servlet I get this error in catalina.out

at util.EmailUtility.sendEmail(EmailUtility.java:86)
The last line util.EmailUtility.sendEmail(EmailUtility.java:86) is the call to the function above.
I'm using sendmail as it was setup on this server.
edit 1.
I set the session.setDebug(true) in the java app function sendEmail above and now I see this in catalina.out
