Hi Aaron,

Sorry to return you the question, but what does SMTP RFC 
(http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2821.txt) tells about empty mails? (is it 
allowed?)

In any case, it would be better to a more specific and throw an 
exception with a correct readable message.

Based on your finding, it will be good to open a JIRA on 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES or 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTOCOLS (it will depend 
how/where we will fix it).

Thx, Eric
