Description
Version 2.16 of the plugin removes support for the PROJECT_DEFAULT_RECIPIENTS token, but leaves references to the token in the recipient lists for previously-configured build jobs. This causes build to attempt to send email to "$PROJECT_DEFAULT_RECIPIENTS" (literally), which of course fails. Delivery to legitimate addresses fails at the same time.
This is a breaking change, as it requires manually editing all existing jobs to remove the offending token reference. For installations with many jobs, this could be overwhelming. In general, it's not a good idea to remove functionality like this, therefore forcing your users to immediately reconfigure to use your alternate method. (i.e. the "ENV" token approach suggested in the commit comment.)
This change is also NOT listed in the version history for the plugin.
A typical failure stack trace follows.
Sending email to: real-address@mycompany.com $PROJECT_DEFAULT_RECIPIENTS

ShuMei,
You can revert to version 2.15 and you should be OK. Also see this thread: http://groups.google.com/group/jenkinsci-dev/browse_thread/thread/19255c17d06c5caf The last post contains a Groovy script that may be useful to you. If you're good at scripting, you may also be able to modify all of the config.xml files for your build jobs directly... though I would recommend doing that only with your Jenkins server shut down.
kutzi,
I agree - this is breaking change and should not have been released in this form. Apparently the dev responsible didn't intend for this change to be released yet, but a different maintainer did the release. That's poor release coordination in my book.
