Hi Sayoojt,

Enable following lines in your general.properties file to create Socket,
Without establishing Socket Connection we cannot send mail.
# -- Gmail requires a JSSE socket factory, the following socketFactory
#settings will override JavaMail's default socketFactory settings
# -- Port needs to be the same as mail.smtp.port
mail.smtp.socketFactory.port=465
mail.smtp.socketFactory.class=javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory
#--Fallback [true|false] determines whether you will allow a non secure
#connection if you are unable to get a secure one
mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback="false"
Hope this could help you.

Thanks pankaj, i tried that as well but the result remains same. by the way i have hosted the application in EC2 server.
Do you have any idea where the log files usually will reside in server. if you can guide me in that, i can show the actual error message am getting.

Thanks again for responding to the issue.

i got used workaround. best thing is to use some other smtp server for sending mails and forget about google apps/gmail for sending mails from system.
i got it working like that.
Thanks guys for your help.
