It fails connecting to your server.

So, where does THAT leave us? The only difference is that you call 
getDefaultInstance(props) while I call getInstance(props) and, according 
to the documentation, these should do exactly the same the first time 
they're called.

BTW, I added the single property setting line to my application code so 
that it uses the same hostname for 'mail.smtp.host' as connect(host, 
user, passwd) does. That code now connects directly to the expected 
server.

What does my SSCE do in your environment?
  
Do please post a response, but be aware that I'm unlikely to read it 
until next week.
