Whilst blank sender addresses are probably not common and may need to be handled as 
erroneous, I notice that currently, a blank sender address in an SMTP header results 
in the following exception:

2000.11.25 12:27:01 584 (ERROR) from SMTP: Error parsing sender address: : String 
index out of range: 0

The email address "<>" is having its triangular brackets removed and then passed to 
the constructor of MailAddress, which throws the exception on the empty String.

I'm not sure how these should be handled, otherwise I would have provided a patch.

Cheers,

Stuart.
