Exception even if one email address is wrong

[Devesh Pradhan]

Hi,

I am using Transport.send(msg) to send mail. I have correct address in TO
List but may get invalid email ids in the CC mail id. Java Mail API is not
sending the mail even to the TO recipient incase of wrong CC mail id.
Is it normal behaviour of Java Mail API or there is a way to tweak it in a
manner so that atleast mail goes to the valid addresses atleaset.

Regards,
Devesh

Yes, that's normal.  If one of the addresses has been typed incorrectly,
the user might want the chance to correct the typing error before really
sending the message.

If that's not what you want to do, there's a property you can set to tell
it to send the message even if some of the addresses are invalid.  See the
javadocs for the com.sun.mail.smtp package.

Hi,

When we create object of InternetAddress then itself there is a kind of validation on Email Ids( like space or invalid domain).

If we are using InternetAddress , then do we need to use sendPartial property since we would have caught the exception much earlier then calling the send function. Is there any kind of exception that may not be caught  by InternetAddress constructor.

Please refer to me for any link if you feel my observation is invalid. Thanks for time.
