MAIL FROM will not accept null reverse-path as specified in RFC821 para 3.6

           Summary: MAIL FROM will not accept null reverse-path as specified
                    in RFC821 para 3.6
           Product: James
           Version: 1.2.1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Mailet API
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


RFC821 para 3.6 allows for a null value in the reverse-path of in the MAIL 
command of a notification message to prevent loops in error reporting.

eg MAIL FROM:<>

However, when org.apache.james.smtpserver.SMTPHandler instantiates a new
org.apache.MailAddress with a null value the MailAddress throws an Exception.

This means that notification messages with a null reverse-path cannot be 
delivered.
