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,
    Bala

***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.

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:

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. </pre> </td>

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.

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

ask you admins for an smtp server that doesn't need that (likely you don't have

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