[vwnc] I think this is a bug in email send ...

Using SimpleSMTPClient and sending to
    "john, bill, charlie, george"
no domain or the default domain.

john and george exist
bill and charlie do not exist

We get

        SMTP Error 550 5.1.1 <[hidden email]>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table

This is NOT a proceedable error, which means the email is not sent at all, and the
two valid recipients do not receive it.  Not too bad in the above example, but what
if I have 200 recipients and two in the middle are bad??

If the error were proceedable, I could report the errors and resume, thus causing
the mail to be sent -- I tried this and it does work -- but the way it is now I would have
to edit may recipient list and try again, and again until all the bad addresses were removed.

The SimpleSMTPClient is not supported anymore. The fix will be applied
to the SMTPClient class.

Thanks I switched to SMTPclient -- easier to put
a fix in since it uses its own exception class.
