    Description

      If JIRA is configured to use a non-existing email address as the global sender address, no email is sent and no error message is printed to the JIRA users. Javax.mail prints the following exception in this case:

      javax.mail.SendFailedException: Sending failed;
      nested exception is:
      javax.mail.MessagingException: 553 5.3.0 <jira@sulake.com>... No such user.

      at javax.mail.Transport.send0(Transport.java:219)
      at javax.mail.Transport.send(Transport.java:81)
      at com.atlassian.jira.event.listeners.mail.MailSender.send(MailSender.java:102)

      IMHO, in this case JIRA should either be able to send the email despite the wrong sender address OR warn the server adminstrator that something is wrong.
