Currently MailetException, whose author was Serge, extends MessagingException without adding anything, so it's indifferent, but there must have been some rationale behind all this in the past, that I'm missing. Some mailets even throw both kinds of exceptions, like JDBCListserv, JDBCAlias, JDBCVirtualUserTable, CommandListservProcessor and others.
MailetException was supposed to be a Mailet-level exception, while MessagingException is IO level. It was supposed to be inline with the servlet API's concepts of ServletException vs. IOException. I hadn't seen the point in having two separate extensions from Exception, so I thought this would keep the method signature a bit smaller.
