CFmail errors- how to prevent error message from user?

Question

Greetings
I have an app in which the admin user sends notices to Vendors who have signed up to recieve emails when a new bid is posted.
Even though I have "required="yes" validate="email"" at intial Vendor sign up (I think email validation is better served using Javascript, I've heard anyway) inevitably, contact emails go bad- and there are about 5000 vendors in the system.
When a user (admin) sends the notices, if there is a mal-formed or dead email address in the DB, it dislays my default error screen even though the send transaction was successful.
Any advice on how to prevent this?
Thanks in advance for your help
