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('[email protected]',
'[email protected]',
'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

Thanks,

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.

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

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).

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? <script language="JavaScript1.1" type="text/javascript"> document.getElementById("latestLink").style.display = "inline" </script>
Reviewer: Monish from CO, US Hi Tom,
We are using SMTP Authentication. Is there a way I could provide username and
password to the smtp server via pl/sql.
SQL> execute send_mail('[email protected]','[email protected]','this is a test');
BEGIN send_mail('[email protected]','[email protected]','this is a test'); END;

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.

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. Thanks -Chary
