/**
 * <p>Factory class that creates a JNDI named JavaMail Session factory,
 * which can be used for managing inbound and outbound electronic mail
 * messages via JavaMail APIs.  All messaging environment properties
 * described in the JavaMail Specification may be passed to the Session
 * factory; however the following properties are the most commonly used:</p>
 * <ul>
 * <li>
 * <li><strong>mail.smtp.host</strong> - Hostname for outbound transport
 *     connections.  Defaults to <code>localhost</code> if not specified.</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>This factory can be configured in a <code>&lt;DefaultContext&gt;</code>
 * or <code>&lt;Context&gt;</code> element in your <code>conf/server.xml</code>
 * configuration file.  An example of factory configuration is:</p>
 * <pre>
 * &lt;Resource name="mail/smtp" auth="CONTAINER"
 *           type="javax.mail.Session"/&gt;
 * &lt;ResourceParams name="mail/smtp"&gt;
 *   &lt;parameter&gt;
 *     &lt;name&gt;factory&lt;/name&gt;
 *     &lt;value&gt;org.apache.naming.factory.MailSessionFactory&lt;/value&gt;
 *   &lt;/parameter&gt;
 *   &lt;parameter&gt;
 *     &lt;name&gt;mail.smtp.host&lt;/name&gt;
 *     &lt;value&gt;mail.mycompany.com&lt;/value&gt;
 *   &lt;/parameter&gt;
 * &lt;/ResourceParams&gt;
 * </pre>
