已检查项 #

• SMTP主机为smtp.gmail.com
• 端口为587
• STARTTLS已启用
• 网络连接正常

提问 #

为何会出现java.net.SocketException: Connection reset错误？是否需要使用Gmail应用密码或修改SMTP配置？

解答 #

核心原因及解决方案 #

1. 必须使用Gmail应用密码
   Gmail从2022年起已关闭普通密码的SMTP支持，仅保留两种验证方式：

   • 开启账号两步验证，生成应用密码（专门用于第三方邮件服务），替换配置中的password字段
   • 若未开启两步验证，需开启「不太安全的应用访问」（该选项已逐步淘汰，不推荐）

2. 网络拦截问题

   • 部分内网（公司/校园网）会拦截587端口请求，可切换到465端口并启用SSL：
     修改application.yml配置：

     spring:
       mail:
         port: 465
         properties:
           mail:
             smtp:
               ssl:
                 enable: true
               starttls:
                 enable: false
                 required: false
     

   • 检查本地防火墙、杀毒软件是否拦截了Java程序的网络连接

3. 调试日志排查
   确保spring.mail.properties.mail.smtp.debug=true已开启，启动程序后查看详细SMTP交互日志，定位连接中断的具体环节
