Description

I got the following exception when inviting members.
It seems that there is a problem with the mail api because I also got the error described here: http://opensource2.atlassian.com/projects/roller/browse/ROL-756

mail.jar and activation.jar are in $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib and resource mail/Session is configured in roller.xml.

HTTP Status 500 -
