use send() to send it.

Thank you Robert, but :
 
  as far as point 1. ia concerned I don’t know what to put in the
opencms-system.xml lines:
 
<mail> 
 
<mailfrom>nobody at nowhere.com</mailfrom>
                                   <mailhost name="my.smtp.server"
protocol="smtp" user="username" password="secure"/>
                                   <mailhost
name="alternative.smtp.server"/>
                                   <mailhost
name="another.alternative.smtp.server"/>
</mail>
 
in place of  :   “nobody at nowhere.com”  and  "my.smtp.server" 
 
 
Thomas Maerz in  a previous answer to my question replied: 
 
“IMHO the names are very well describing themselves. Take a look here
and copy your settings from Outlook.
E. g. "my.smtp.server" is "Outgoing mail server (SMTP)".
 
To him I replied:
 
do you mean I have to use my e-mail client account settings? I was
thinking that since the recommend message has to be sent by the Opencms
server it was necessary to properly configure “its” mail server… I am a
little bit confused so please if you can explain better what goes on
behind the sending of e-mail messages from opencms .jsp files.
 
I didn’t receive any clarification of what Thomas had suggested…and
still I don’t understand how to “configure the e-mail server”.
 
Robert, could you explain more in detail how to proceed?
 
Thank you again
 
Domenico
