> James 3.0 is not allowing empty MAIL FROM: <>
> It does allow you to enter it, then a RCPT TO and DATA, but after you finish
> the DATA command it throws an exception:
> ERROR 10:31:12,847 | james.smtpserver | Id='234288323' User='' Invalid email
> address while processing DATA.
> javax.mail.internet.AddressException: Out of data at position 1 in '' in
> string ``'' at position 1
> at org.apache.mailet.MailAddress.<init>(MailAddress.java:159)
> To reproduce the error (and to test whether you have fixed it), you can copy
> paste the responses below:

> This is a pretty important issue as its required by RFC1123 5.2.9 to allow
> empty MAIL FROM due to bounce emails often using empty MAIL FROM to prevent
> bounce loops.
> As Stefano Bagnara pointed out:
> "This is all best summed up by section 5.2.9 of RFC1123, which says:
> ----
> The syntax shown in RFC-821 for the MAIL FROM: command omits the case of an
> empty path: "MAIL FROM:<>" (see RFC-821 Page 15). An empty reverse path MUST
> be supported.
> ----
> So, an empty email address is NOT a valid email address, but an empty email
> address is valid in an
> SMTP conversation as a way to say "no mail address".
> IIRC James 2.3 dealt with this using null sender in case a <> was received
> (so to not build an "invalid" empty address object)."
