Spring JavaMailSenderImpl выдает исключение, но все равно отправляет электронное письмо

Используя Spring 3.0, я написал интерфейс, чтобы скрыть от приложения, какой механизм шаблонов я использовал для отправки почты. Интерфейс

public interface MailSender {
    public void send(String[] to, String from, String subject, String template,
        Map<Object, Object> model, boolean isHtml,
        Map<String, Resource> attachments,
        Map<String, Resource> inline) throws MailException;
}

Тогда реализация Velocity

public class MailSenderVelocity implements MailSender {
    private JavaMailSender sender;
    private VelocityEngine engine;

    @Override
    public void send(final String[] to, final String from,
        final String subject, final String template,
        final Map<Object, Object> model, final boolean isHtml,
        final Map<String, Resource> attachments,
        final Map<String, Resource> inline)
            throws com.engrid.mail.MailException {
        try {
            // prepare the message to send
            MimeMessagePreparator preparator = new MimeMessagePreparator() {
                @Override
                public void prepare(MimeMessage mimeMessage) throws Exception {
                    // determine if the message needs to be multipart or not
                    boolean multipart = (attachments != null && !attachments.isEmpty()) || (inline != null && !inline.isEmpty());

                    // create the message
                    MimeMessageHelper helper = new MimeMessageHelper(mimeMessage, multipart);

                    // populate header fields
                    helper.setTo(to);
                    helper.setFrom(from);
                    helper.setSubject(subject);

                    // fetch template and merge model
                    String text = VelocityEngineUtils.mergeTemplateIntoString(engine, template, model);
                    helper.setText(text, isHtml);

                    // add inline attachments
                    if (inline != null) {
                        for (Entry<String, Resource> entry : inline.entrySet()) {
                            helper.addInline(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
                        }
                    }

                    // add other attachments
                    if (attachments != null) {
                        for (Entry<String, Resource> entry : attachments.entrySet()) {
                            helper.addAttachment(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
                        }
                    }
                }
            };

            // send the email
            this.sender.send(preparator);
        } catch(MailException e) {
            // error preparing or sending the message
            e.printStackTrace();
            throw new com.engrid.mail.MailException(e);
        }
    }    

    public void setSender(JavaMailSender sender) {
        this.sender = sender;
    }

    public void setEngine(VelocityEngine engine) {
        this.engine = engine;
    }
}

Будучи хорошим программистом, я написал тестовые случаи для разных сценариев, чтобы убедиться, что все работает правильно. Один из моих случаев, когда указано вложение, но самого файла нет, в частности

@Test(expected=MailException.class)
public void testSend_MissingAttachment() throws IOException, MailException {
    // create new object
    MailSenderVelocity testSender = new MailSenderVelocity();
    testSender.setEngine(engine);
    testSender.setSender(sender);

    // assign properties
    String subject = "testSend_MissingAttachment";
    String template = "simple.vm";
    Map<Object, Object> model = new HashMap<Object, Object>();
    model.put("user", "User");
    boolean isHtml = true;
    Map<String, Resource> attachments = new HashMap<String, Resource>();
    String file = "notext.txt";
    attachments.put(file, templateDirectory.createRelative(file));
    Map<String, Resource> inline = null;

    // send a message -- will fail because it won't find the file to attach
    testSender.send(this.to, this.from, subject, template, model, isHtml, attachments, inline);
}

Теперь тест приводит к ожидаемому исключению

Однако сообщение электронной почты по-прежнему отправляется указанному получателю от указанного отправителя. Все остальные элементы (тема, тело и т. д.) остаются пустыми. Как остановить отправку электронной почты, когда при создании электронной почты создается исключение.
