Using JavaMail 1.3, if an e-mail message contains a bogus/invalid address will the other
recipients still receive the message?

Is there an easy way to check if an e-mail has "bounced"?

Thanks,

Rob

refer to http://www.jguru.com/faq/view.jsp?EID=325996 for sending to valid email addresses in a list of valid+invalid addresses.
E-mail bouncing will be totally specific to your mail server which your javamail program communicates with.
use the mail.smtp.dsn.notify property to tell your server to track mail status.
** mail.smtp.dsn.notify The NOTIFY option to the RCPT command. Either NEVER, or some combination of SUCCESS, FAILURE, and DELAY (separated by commas). **
