You'll want to read these JavaMail FAQ entries:

• If I send a message to a bad address, why don't I get a SendFailedException or TransportEvent indicating that the address is bad?
• When a message can't be delivered, a failure message is returned. How can I detect these "bounced" messages?

In addition, see the smtpsend.java sample program , which will show you how to catch and process the exceptions thrown when sending a message, for those (rare) cases when the SMTP server reports the failure synchronously.
