Mail's Outbox when sending to an incorrect address

If I try to send an email to let's say 25 email addresses and one of those addresses is incorrect, Mail.app will stick my message in the Outbox. I then have to go through each address one-by-one to find out which address is the problem. Any way to get around this in Mail? If I remember correctly, Eudora would still send the email, but then reply back to me saying which particular address(es) were not deliverable. Sorry if this has been asked before. Thanks.

From my experience, Mail will send to as many addresses as you tell it to and later on if it's a bad address I'll get a "returned mail error - undelieverable address". My point is, I don't know why it's behaving that way. Will you post a screen shot?

I have no place to host a screenshot, but the error message that pops up when this happens says: "Cannot send message using the server smpt...". It then gives me the option to either Edit the Message, select another smpt server, or just to Try Again Later. There is no evidence that it sends to the correct addresses. I have never received one of those "returned mail error - undeliverable address" emails when this happens in Mail.app. It seems like the whole email stalls until I find the one incorrect address.
