Spring MimeMessageHelper: AddressException when adding multiple CC

Question

I need to add multiple CC addresses to my mail message, but I keep getting the following exception:

javax.mail.internet.AddressException: Illegal Address (email@email.com;email@email.com,15)

Here is my code:

final String ccAddress = (String) inputMessageHeaders.get(MailHeaders.CC);
final String[] arrayOfCCAddress = ccAddress.split(";");
for(String cc : arrayOfCCAddress) {
    InternetAddress address = new InternetAddress(cc);
    mimeMessageHelper.setCc(address);
}

The original value of ccAddress is "email@email.com;email@email.com" The actual addresses are valid. Why is it throwing an exception and adding the ",15" to the end of the CC address?

Thanks

Answer 1

I ended up waiting to add the cc until right before setting it in the mimehelper, whereas before I was setting it in a message header, which was messing things up. Never figured out why.
