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

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).

Ora-20001 :450 when executing procedure. March 31, 2003 Reviewer: Vivek Sharma from Bombay, India Hi Tom,

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:

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. |

June 28, 2003 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. |

How can we provide username and password for smtp auth June 15, 2004 Reviewer: Monish from CO, US Hi Tom,
We are using SMTP Authentication. Is there a way I could provide username and

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. |

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. |

utl_smtp.data April 20, 2005 Reviewer: Ratnamachary from IND Tom,
I've problem in sending text more than 2000 charectors using utl.smtp.data
function.
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.

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

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. |
