You can use PHP exception to handle it and the script will not die. Details at
http://php.net/manual/en/language.exceptions.php.
Thanks,

Subject: [PHP-WIN] Behavior of mail() function
Running PHP version 5.3.1, I find that if my script tries to send an email
message to an address in the local domain, and the address is invalid, mail()
throws an error:
mail(): SMTP server response: 550 5.1.1 <[email protected]>:
Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table
Is there a way I can configure PHP so that mail() would return false in this
case, rather than throwing an error which causes the script to die?
Our mail server is a Linux server running Postfix, if that matters.
Thank you
Lewis Kapell

The script should not die. Mail returns false (no exception are
raised) on failure and can raise warnings. These warnings can be
disable using the http://www.php.net/error_reporting ini settings
(works per directory, per script or globally per php.ini).

After testing more carefully I see what is happening. The call to
mail() is generating a warning, and our custom error handler is trapping
that and causing the script to abort.
Thanks for setting me in the right direction.
