As you can see, the intention is to allow all 1.4.x series stable releases.
Lift POM doesn't have any reference to Java.Net Maven 2 Repository.
Therefore, within Lift, javax.mail.mail is always picked up from Maven
central repository (repo1.maven.org/maven2) which isn't polluted with
SNAPSHOT builds.
I guess, your project has reference to Java.Net repository which wins
over Maven central repository. This in turn results in 1.4.3-SNAPSHOT
being pulled. See if it helps to have the release and snapshot policies
set for the Java.Net repository node in your POM [0].
Let us know how it goes, and we'll take it from there.

Indeed. This was an oversight, thanks for sharing. As David mentioned,
raise a ticket and I'll fix it.
