field of your email message. Here are some possible reasons:
- Typo: Double-check the email address for any typos or incorrect characters.
- Non-existent email address: The email address you're trying to send to may not exist or may be a disposable email address.

To resolve this issue, you can try the following:
- Verify the email address: Make sure the email address is correct and exists.
- Check the domain: Ensure the domain part of the email address is valid and configured to receive emails.
- Use a valid email address: Replace the invalid email address with a valid one.
If you're using a Java-based email client or library, you can catch this exception and handle it accordingly. For example, you can log the error and retry sending the email with a valid address.
