It depends on the mail server. I think Qmail will bitbucket the mail.
After all, there are no recipients to deliver the mail to, so the mail
server's job is done. Courier will reject the mail, throwing sqwebmail back
into compose mode. I have no idea what sendmail, postfix, or exim will do.
If you tell sqwebmail to send a message, it will do what you tell it to do,
plain and simple: send the message. Or at least try. If the mail server
accepts it, the job is done. If you realized made a mistake, you can fish
the message out of the Sent folder, and try again.
