The newer version (that's in CVS and I swear will be released this week) has
a much nicer error message that tells you the address in question and an
otherwise friendlier message.

Subject: JAMES mail bounces


> When I send a mail with a bad domain, I get this from JAMES:
>
>         Delivery failure: javax.mail.MessagingException: No route found to
> hotmail2.com
>
> When I send a mail with a non-existent user, I get this from JAMES:
>
>         Delivery failure: javax.mail.SendFailedException: Invalid
Addresses;
>           nested exception is:
>         javax.mail.SendFailedException: 550 Requested action not taken:
> mailbox unavailable
>
>
> The first case merely makes it very inconvenient to find the bad recipient
> address, the latter makes is impossible to disambiguate the bad address
from

> It seems that this is not something that is properly fixed with a mailet.
> Might this already be fixed in an upcoming release?

commonly

forwarded
