When the extended e-mail plugin is configuered to "Include Culprits" and "Send to Committers", then an e-mail is generated, which includes everyone, who committed since the last successful build.
During the development of the software we have an unstable build for a longer period. During this time, someone of our team has left the company and now the plugin tries to send an e-mail to this non-existent person, causing an error in our e-mail system. Also, this person is generated in the "People" section of Jenkins.
I would suggest to check, if these persons have a valid account in the "People"-database and to avoid to add these people to the "People"-database and to avoid sending e-mails to these persons.
Just add them to the excluded committers list (global config). Also, not everyone has an updated "People" database and doesn't want to, so this would not email the correct people for them.
