Yes, I have already done that in my code. So I will do the following and test 
the code and see whether it authenticate with the SMTP server using CRAM-MD5.

props.put("mail.smtp.auth.mechanisms", "CRAM-MD5")

Thanks for your support,

Yes.

final String userName = ...;
final String password = ...;
Authenticator auth = new Authenticator() {
        protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
                return new PasswordAuthentication(userName, password);
        }
};
