“mail.smtp.auth”参数在 JavaMailSender 中的作用是什么？

问：

我使用 JavaMailSender 发送电子邮件。我在配置文件中配置了相应的用户名和密码，但发送电子邮件时出现错误。错误消息为 。org.apache.geronimo.javamail.transport.smtp.SMTPSendFailedException: authentication is required

这是我的配置文件

# Mail Configuration
management.health.mail.enabled=false
# Configure POP3 server
spring.mail.host=smtp.163.com
#User name and authorization code for sending emails
spring.mail.username=yy1*****[email protected]
spring.mail.password=YJ*****BSKF

# SSL Config
spring.mail.port=465
spring.mail.protocol=smtp
spring.mail.default-encoding=UTF-8
spring.mail.properties.mail.smtp.ssl.enable=true
spring.mail.properties.mail.smtp.socketFactory.port=465
spring.mail.properties.mail.smtp.socketFactory.class=javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory

我尝试添加到配置文件中，然后再次尝试发送电子邮件。它成功了。我查看了对应的源代码，发现如果我已经在配置文件中填写了用户名和密码，那么 的值不会影响结果。我不明白为什么。spring.mail.properties.mail.smtp.auth=truemail.smtp.auth
