SendFailedException, valid email addresses not sent

Question

Hi all,
I'm using the JavaMail 1.2 API to send email to an SMTP server and I'm having a problem with invalid addresses. I'm using the Transport.sendMessage(Message, Address[]) method. The API docs says, ". Also, if any of the addresses is invalid, a SendFailedException is thrown. Note however, that the message is sent to the valid addresses."
However, if there is an invalid address I get the SendFailedException as expected, but the message is not sent to the valid email addresses.
Has anyone experienced this? Solutions, workarounds?
Thanks,
Derek

Hello Sir,
I am working on an Enterprise Java Bean Application running on J2EE application server..Also using JavaMail API to send Emails through my application.
I am able to send emails successfully through it and sending it into a loop one after the other...
What i am tring to do is, if i encounter an Invalid Email Address the application throws me an SendFailedException and from this SendFailedException i want to catch Invalid Email Addresses... so that i will come to know which emails where sent and which were not...
But the problem is that ,if an Invalid Email Address is encountered and after throwing me an SendFailedException if i try to Catch the Invalid Address ,like
Address[] invalid = sfe.getInvalidAddresses();
and print an SOP after this,
System.out.println("Collected InvalidAddress from SendFailedException...."+invalid);
the SOP prints "Null" ...
The Invalid Email Address is also an well Formed String....e.g... "[email protected]"...
The complete Exception is .....
The exception is javax.mail.SendFailedException: Sending failed; nested exception is: javax.mail.SendFailedException: 554 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: Domain not found
The Code is ..
<Code>
MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(session);
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(eMess.getEmailSender()));
String to = "";
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,
InternetAddress.parse(to, false));
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.BCC,
InternetAddress.parse(eMess.getEmailReceiver(), false));
msg.setSubject(eMess.getSubject());
msg.setContent(eMess.getHtmlContents(),"text/plain");
msg.saveChanges();
try {
Transport.send(msg);
System.out.println ("The Email has been sent successfully....");
} catch (javax.mail.SendFailedException sfe) {
System.out.println("The exception in MailHelper is " + sfe);
ArrayList al = new ArrayList();
Collection badAddresses = null;
System.out.println("Collecting InvalidAddress from SendFailedException....");
Address[] invalid = sfe.getInvalidAddresses();
System.out.println("Collected InvalidAddress from SendFailedException...."+invalid);//this SOP is Null....
if (invalid != null) {
System.out.println("Invalid Addresse(s) found......");
if (invalid.length > 0) {
for (int x = 0; x < invalid.length; x++) {
invalidAddresses = invalid[x].toString();
System.out.println("The Invalid Addresses are :"+invalidAddresses);
</Code>
Can anybody help me out with this problem.Any suggestion or code can be greatly appreciated...
Thanks a million is advance...
