admin config for wrong mail syntax?

[Yannovich]

Hello Everyone,

I recently had to reinstall coldfusion on our server, and came across an error i hadn't noticed before

when sending a mailing with cfmail, if the mail address in the to had an incorrect syntax i get a error message:
This exception was caused by: javax.mail.SendFailedException: Invalid Addresses; nested exception is: class javax.mail.SendFailedException: 550 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable or not local .

i could just check the mail address before using it, but i wondered if there's a possibility to configure the administrator to send a warning to the sender to inform him an email used was not correct, but without stopping to process the cfm page.

tnx for any help!

Greetz, yannovich

But what if it was the sender's email that was wrong?

You're going to have to peform validations on the emails used before using the cfmail tag.

Client Side: use CFFORM validation

I still suggest server side validation as well.
