Here is an overview of the issue:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Key: JAMES-17
    Summary: MAIL FROM will not accept null reverse-path as specified in RFC821 para 3.6
       Type: Bug

     Status: Closed
 Resolution: INCOMPLETE

    Project: James
 Components: 
             Mailet API
   Versions:
             1.2.1

   Assignee: 
   Reporter: Richard Hitchins

Environment: Operating System: Windows NT/2K
Platform: PC

Description:
RFC821 para 3.6 allows for a null value in the reverse-path of in the MAIL 
command of a notification message to prevent loops in error reporting.

eg MAIL FROM:<>

However, when org.apache.james.smtpserver.SMTPHandler instantiates a new
org.apache.MailAddress with a null value the MailAddress throws an Exception.

This means that notification messages with a null reverse-path cannot be 
delivered.
