SMTP fails to recognize email address

Question

Hi there,
i'm having a tough and irritating problem: when i create Transport from the Session in tomcat's (v 5.5) context, i get the following Exception:
SMTPAddressFailedException: 550 5.1.1 Bad destination mailbox address ([email protected])
i went google but with no success as well as nothing in java forums..
Interesting thing is that on my localhost it works fine, but when uploaded to remote server it fails (context.xml has the same settings). Here is my code:
Context initCtx = new InitialContext();
               Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env");
               Session session = (Session) envCtx.lookup("mail/Session");
               System.out.println(session.getProperty("mail.smtp.auth"));
               Message message = new SMTPMessage(session);
               message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
               message.addRecipient(javax.mail.Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(to.trim()));
               message.setSubject(subject);
               message.setContent(text, "text/plain;charset=windows-1257");
               Transport service = session.getTransport("smtp");
               service.connect();
               message.saveChanges();
               service.sendMessage(message, message.getRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO));
               service.close();
.. and context.xml for application:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context
reloadable="true"
workDir="......">
<Resource
name="mail/Session"
type="javax.mail.Session"
mail.smtp.host="mail.takas.lt" mail.debug="true"/>
</Context>
Any help, please?? Would appreciate it alot.

i guess that is not a problem, because the deny comes from the smtp server for recipient address which is correct, eventhough the sender (From) email is incorrect and mail server accepts it. Here's some debug output, maybe it could help?
MAIL FROM:<[email protected]>
250 2.1.0 [email protected]...Sender OK
RCPT TO:<[email protected]>
550 5.1.1 Bad destination mailbox address ([email protected]).
DEBUG SMTP: Invalid Addresses
DEBUG SMTP: [email protected]
DEBUG SMTP: Sending failed because of invalid destination addresses
RSET
250 2.0.0 Resetting
javax.mail.SendFailedException: Invalid Addresses;
nested exception is:
class com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPAddressFailedException: 550 5.1.1 Bad destination mailbox address
the code 550 is response from smtp host, not the remote pc..
