You won't get a Java exception for that because email is delivered asynchronously. The bounce message comes back long after your program has sent the email. To catch these you'll need a program that monitors the inbox and handles the bounce messages appropriately. I don't know of such a program, but it wouldn't surprise me if you could find some code somewhere. -- Len
