Thanks for the question regarding "About utl_smtp", version 8.1.7

You Asked (Jump to Tom's latest followup)
Hi Tom,

I created the procedure send_mail as in your book in the user System. 

create or replace procedure send_mail
( p_sender in varchar2,
  p_recipient in varchar2,
  p_message in varchar2 )
as
   l_mailhost varchar2(255) := '10.228.1.75' ;
   l_mail_conn utl_smtp.connection ;
begin
   l_mail_conn := utl_smtp.open_connection(l_mailhost, 25) ;
   utl_smtp.helo(l_mail_conn, l_mailhost) ;
   utl_smtp.mail(l_mail_conn, p_sender) ;
   utl_smtp.rcpt(l_mail_conn, p_recipient ) ;
   utl_smtp.open_data(l_mail_conn) ;
   utl_smtp.write_data(l_mail_conn, p_message ) ;
   utl_smtp.close_data(l_mail_conn) ;
   utl_smtp.quit(l_mail_conn );
   dbms_output.put_line('Message send to the user successfully') ;
end ;

The procedure compiled without any error. I call the above procedure in the same 
user as :

begin
   send_mail('vrbala@visto.com',
        'vr_bala@yahoo.com',
        'This is the test message from oracle server' ) ;
end ;

I got the following error. What should i do to run this.

ORA-20002: 554 Relay rejected for policy reasons.
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_SMTP", line 86
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_SMTP", line 223
ORA-06512: at "SYSTEM.SEND_MAIL", line 12
ORA-06512: at line 2

Thanks,

and we said...
Talk to your system and or network administrator.  This is 100% an smtp 
configuration issue.  Your host (10.228.1.75) is not permitted to relay email 
(to prevent spammers from using you as a jump off point).  You need to find the 
valid smtp server within your organization.

Thanks  December 03, 2001
Reviewer:  Balasubramanian  from Singapore

Thanks for immediate response. Also is there any way to
check validity of smtp server using oracle procedures. 
Because the administrator told this is the correct smpt
server.

Thanks,
Bala 

Followup:
You did check the "validity" of the SMTP server -- you got the message back 
"relaying not allowed".  Your smtp server is simply NOT allowed to relay to 
hosts outside of its domain.  You can telnet right to the SMTP server to prove 
this to yourself.

The elements in bold are what you type in, please use your hostname of course.  
You should get the same output as you did from Oracle -- indicating simply that 
your server in visto.com is not allowed to relay to yahoo.com

<script language="JavaScript1.1" type="text/javascript"> document.getElementById("latestLink").style.display = "inline" </script> Relaying Denied fixes  December 03, 2001
Reviewer:  Andy Finkenstadt  from Saint Charles MO

Tell your system adminstrator to allow the IP address for the database server 
initiating the email to relay, by adding the address to (typically) 
/etc/mail/relay-domains.

The relay prohibition comes most restrictively from that lack, or from not using 
an @locally.relayable.domain sender address if the administration is using 
FEATURE(relay_local_from).

Followup:
workaround:  read the error message.

You are getting apparently a 450 error from your SMTP server (the ora-20001 is 
utl_smtp's way to saying "error encountered -- here is more information"


If you just:

What is it trying to tell me with between : and <

When I telnet this IP it responds initially but that's it

The mail server is notes/domin

any help is appreciated.
 

Followup:
Well, thats not a database error -- that is the SMTP server being finicky.  

RFC 821 states that all envelope information should be enclosed in angle 
brackets. 

try putting <> about your email addresses.

Reviewer:  j.

hi tom, everything works fine so far.

now I wonder if there is any way to check whether given email addresses were 
valid.

can the database get notified if mail delivery fails? 

Followup:
the email will bounce back and you can use the other parts of the javamail api 
to "read" mail as easily as "send mail"

so, instead of using utl_smtp, you can load up the java mail api and use it to 
do lots more.

Hi Tom,

We are using SMTP Authentication. Is there a way I could provide username and 
password to the smtp server via pl/sql.

you can write directly to the SMTP server and do the authorization, yes.

just telnet to your SMTP server (telnet hostname 25) and type HELP

You'll see a list of commands it supports.  from there, you'll have to figure 
out the protocol your server is using to authenticate (should be able to google 
that up, some rfc somewhere)....

then you can use utl_smtp to write that information to the SMTP server. 

<script language="JavaScript1.1" type="text/javascript"> document.getElementById("latestLink").style.display = "inline" </script> it is very handy   January 19, 2005
Reviewer:  Mehmood  from Karachi, Pakistan

Dear Tom:

It is very handy to get emails from Oralce server. I have used the same 
procedure which you have given, I do get the emails from Oracle server having 
used the UTL_SMTP, but unfortunately I dont get any message in those emails. 
Your response will be highly appreicated. 

Followup:
it has always worked for me.


ctl-f on this page for telnet.  do it by hand.  take the database out of the 
loop. All we are doing is exactly what you can do in telnet.

I've problem in sending text more than 2000 charectors using utl.smtp.data

Is there any limitation for this?
I'm getting Numeric or Value error.
The text which I want to send I'm building in PL/SQL procedure and passing as 
input parameter for sendmail procedure.
I'm using Oracle version 8.1.7.

Please advise.

Hi,

I am trying to send a mail to myself. I am getting the same error. tried almost 
everything mentioned here. 
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-20002: 530 Authentication required ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_SMTP", line 86

sometimes i am getting error 421 - Service not available error. 

latest is plsql statement executed successfully. BUT I STILL HAVEN'T RECEIVED 
THE MAIL 

Followup:
that is saying you need to supply a username and password to use your SMTP 
server - you need to either

ask you admins for an smtp server that doesn't need that (likely you don't have 
one if they use one with authentication)

or

read a bit about the smtp protocol and see how to send the required 
authentication tokens.
