[JENKINS-772] javax.mail.internet.AddressException: Illegal address in string ``''

[jenkins-infra-bot]

Version: 1.119

Hudson gives a useless exception, because no context is given in which the error
occurs (most likely a wrong user configuration).

Note that although the error occurs and should be reported in some way, the
failure mail should have been send anyway.
