Error 421

My BTYahoo mail is working fine via Outlook 2013 where I can send a set of e-mails (around 40) via the BCC option.
However, I have a third party e-mailer which sends each of the selected e-mail addresses separately on pressing its send button, unlike a BCC option.
This has been working fine since the summer and since I transferred to a new Windows 8.1 computer.
But during the week, when sending a batch, the e-mailer reported the following error.  The supplier does not think it is a software problem with his product.
Error 421. 421 Service not available - too many authenticated connections
Googling has not found this error.
Sending a second (dfferent) batch the next day was successful, but a third (different again) batch failed with the same error. 
What does the error mean?

Hi. Welcome to the forums.
Can you say how many email addresses are in each batch ?, e.g. was the 1st and 3rd batches much larger than the 2nd ?
What is the 3rd party emailer ?
After sending to the batch that failed - were you still able to send single emails ?
What sort of smtp settings do you have with your email address (e.g. port, SSL etc) ? Users' email addresses are changing properly to CP shortly, and this could affect the way you send emails depending on settings - though this would probably show with all batches.

  • Send E-mail from Oracle (9.2.0.1) : SMTP transient error: 421 Service not a

    I have used Oracle 9i server (9.2.0.1 version) on Windows XP machine(with SP2).I want to send Email from PL/SQL procedure.
    My Question is what sort of configuration needed to perform this activity?
    I have installed IIS (Internet Information Service)
    in my machine, then configure my SMTP mail server
    with a valid email id and password given TCP port 465.
    Later I came to know that to send Email from PL/SQL I have to install Oracle JServer Code. Follow three steps. the steps are
    1. Execute the script as sys "$ORACLE_HOME\javavm\install\initjvm.sql"
    2. Execute the loadjava classfile as
    $ORACLE_HOME\plsql\jlib>loadjava -f -v -r -u sys/**** plsql.jar
    3. Execute the script as sys "$ORACLE_HOME\rdbms\admin\initplsj.sql"
    I sucessfully executed the first step, but for the second step iam not able to locate the plsql.jar file in the specified path.
    So Please tell me if there is any other method to perform this task
    My code is as follows.

    Thank You.

    1) Why did you install an SMTP server locally and then tell your code to try to use the server mail.google.com?
    2) The error you're getting is from mail.google.com indicating that Google isn't running an open SMTP server there. I would be very surprised if Google were running a publicly available SMTP server anywhere since that would be an invitation for spammers.

    Check IIS check box.
    Select Internet Information Service (IIS) option and click on Details button
    Check whether SMTP Service is checked or not.
    If not selected then select SMTP check box.
    This process should be done on server.
    It will help out from ORA-29278: SMTP transient error: 421 Service not available

    There is no IIS in my Windows Components..
    Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

    It sounds like you don't have an SMTP server running on your local machine.
    Even if you install IIS (or some other SMTP server), that is probably not enough to send email outside of your machine because your machine is unlikely to be trusted by the downstream mail servers. If you are running this in a company, you'll need to talk to your company's mail admin to determine where the corporate SMTP server is running. If you running this at home, you'll need to find out from your ISP what SMTP servers are available to you.

    Note that mail.mydomain.com is sitting on the application server, and not the database server (not sure if that is important here). Previously, I set things up doing the following as SYS user:

    It appears that the SYS user is permitted by the ACL, but is somehow blocked access to mail.mydomain.com on the application server. Are there any Linux configurations that need to occur in implementing this process? Or, am I missing something in configuring Oracle. I'm using 11.2.0.1.0. This is my first time setting this up. Does the database need to be cycled down then back up for any of these settings to take place?

    Thanks Justin, that helps a lot. Now, with the 'AUTH LOGIN' command, I'm getting the error:

    UPDATE:
    Actually, my procedure above uses this line:

    But I noticed Justin's code above uses:

  • FTP error - 421

    Hi all,
    We are trying to FTP files from business connector at regular interval to external party via proxy and sometimes we face a error - 421 Service not available, closing control connection.
    Please help to know what could be the cause for this, as this happens during few transmissions and remaining time we are able to FTP with out any problem.
    I tried to check the size of the files transmitted and is not different than the successful transmission. Also, due to this error we are not able read or put the files to external FTP server.
    Please help.

  • Endpoint shutdown (FTP) on web exception. FTP error 421

    Hi,
    When using FTP Source in my Biztalk Services project it sometimes occurs that we receive an error 421 from the FTP server. This causes the endpoint to shutdown, which will result in a manual action to restart the endpoint again.
    We're looking into the cause of the 421 error, but the strange thing is that 4 bridges within the same project use the same FTP server, but they do not all shutdown. This makes it assumable that it's a short hickup in the system.
    Is there a way to set a strategy of backoff and retrying instead of shutting down the endpoint for FTP errors ? I my opinion, /I shouldn't need to rely on a 3rd party to keep my infrastructure running.

    The bridge will shut down after retry attempts at delayed polling intervals.
    You may want to monitor Operation Logs / Event logs for such events.
    You may write a simple PS script which can run periodically to start the bridges and make sure that the bridges are in started state.

  • UTL_SMTP: error 421

    I have a PL/SQL block that repeatedly calls UTL_SMTP in a loop, basically e-mailing a group of addressees. The first send works fine (the message arriving successfully), but on the second and subsequent calls error 421 is raised by UTL_SMTP.HELO . My first and only guess was that messages were being sent too quickly for the mail server to process, so I inserted a 'sleep' of about five seconds between messages, but that didn't work.
    I am using CLOSE_DATA and QUIT at the end of each iteration.
    Many thanks,
    Andrew Hunter

    I have done something similar with UTL_SMTP without any problem, so there must be something funny going on.
    According to the 421 means the SMTP server is down. You can check whether this is the case by inserting noop() immediately after open_connection(). If the server is available it will return 250 (use DBMS_OUTPUT to verify).
    Which prompts me to ask the question "Do you have the open_connection() call in your loop?"
    Otherwise you may have to post your code.
    Incidentally, there is a fabulously featured mail demo package available from the OTN sample code archive which is really cool - attachments, HTML, the works. If you want a good e-mail package I recommend you use this (unless you are coding your own package for the sheer intellectual challenge).
    Cheers, APC

  • UTL_SMTP fails:  SMTP transient error: 421 Service not available

    Hi!
    I´m trying to set up database to be able to send emails by UTL_SMTP package.
    I´m working whit Oracle 9.0.2.0.7 on Windows 2003 Server EE SP1
    For this, I have searched a script of the many on the network. One like this:
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE CASIUS.SEND_MAIL(SENDER IN VARCHAR2, RECIPIENT IN VARCHAR2, SUBJECT IN VARCHAR2, MESSAGE IN VARCHAR2) IS
        MAILHOST CONSTANT VARCHAR2(3000) := 'server.exchange.test.com';

        MAIL_CONN UTL_SMTP.CONNECTION;
        BEGIN
            UTL_SMTP.QUIT(MAIL_CONN);
            MAIL_CONN := UTL_SMTP.OPEN_CONNECTION(MAILHOST, 25);
            UTL_SMTP.EHLO(MAIL_CONN, MAILHOST); 
            UTL_SMTP.COMMAND( MAIL_CONN, 'AUTH', 'LOGIN ');        
            UTL_SMTP.COMMAND( MAIL_CONN, UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_VARCHAR2( UTL_ENCODE.BASE64_ENCODE( UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_RAW( '[email protected]' ))));
            UTL_SMTP.COMMAND( MAIL_CONN, UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_VARCHAR2( UTL_ENCODE.BASE64_ENCODE( UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_RAW( 'testpassw'))));

            UTL_SMTP.EHLO(MAIL_CONN, MAILHOST);

            UTL_SMTP.RCPT(MAIL_CONN, RECIPIENT);

            UTL_SMTP.QUIT(MAIL_CONN);
        EXCEPTION
            WHEN OTHERS THEN
            RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20004,SQLERRM);
    END SEND_MAIL;
    I've reviewed the script many times and I find no error. But when I call it I always have this error:
    ORA-20004: ORA-29278: SMTP transient error: 421 Service not available
    I have done many tests. Although the most meaningful test that I have done may be the send of a message via telnet  from the same server using the same parameters. It has worked!. This is the log:

    QUIT
    221 server.exchange.test.com QUIT
    Connection to host lost.
    This test email was received for me, so I think is evidenced that the problem is in ULT_SMTP package.
    And more specifically, I suspect that the exception raises on one of these lines:
            UTL_SMTP.QUIT(MAIL_CONN);
            MAIL_CONN := UTL_SMTP.OPEN_CONNECTION(MAILHOST, 25);
    But I don´t understand why, All the sites I have viewed uses package of similar way...
    Can someone throw me some light on this issue?
    Regards

    maybe you find something in https://community.oracle.com/message/3560073. And I would recommend to think about upgrading to a current Oracle version, since 9.2 has been desupported around 2007.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Justin,
    Please get the answers of your queries
    The error you're getting is coming from the SMTP server you are trying to connect to.
    - What SMTP server is your database configured to use?
    Reply - I am using IIS(5.0)
    - What SMTP server is the database where this code is working configured to use?
    Reply - Same IIS. Database is installed locally on my machine only. I am trying to send mail locally to me only,Not to the outside person.
    - Has the SMTP server been configured to allow connections from both machines?
    Reply - Yes
    One more query, do we really require to set the SMTP_OUT_SERVER parameter for SCOPE=BOTH
    ALTER SYSTEM SET smtp_out_server = '172.16.1.10' SCOPE=BOTH
    I am not able to set like this for BOTH,only for SPFILE i can set ?.
    My SMTP Server IP=172.16.1.10
    PORT- 25
    Thanks

  • Error "421 #4.4.5 Too many connections from your host"

    We have deployed a Java application using JavaMail which enables people to send email to their contact lists. It has been in use for a few years, various updates being applied over that time. Most of our customers have no problem. But a couple of weeks ago, two of them suddenly could no longer send emails.
    The connection to the SMTP server works but when the application sends email, it gets an error 421. A debugging dump is reproduced below: the target email address is changed to protect the uninvolved; messages starting with **** come from my program, other come from JavaMail.
    Can anyone solve this problem? suggest where to look? Thanks.

    Looks like the server keeps track of the number of connections from each machine, and when the number of connections in a certain period exceeds some number, that machine is deemed to be a potential spammer. At any rate it is something you should discuss with the manager of that server.

  • Getting error 421

    Hi All,
    I am using a code sample for sending mail using javamail. It works fine if i call the class from a jsp page. But i have called the class using TimerTask (schedule to run once every day at midnight). The class TimerTask calls 2 different class for sending different types of mails accordingly. The call to first class sends the mail properly, but the second class gives an error saying "not able to connect to mail server port 21 response 421". Also the call to the first class sends 2-3 copies of mails instead of one.
    Let me know what would be the issue over here.
    Thanks in advance,
    Naresh

    The issue would be your code is wrong. Have you tried to debug it?
    I don't know where the "not able to connect" message is coming from.
    If you're really trying to connect on port 21 that's part of your problem.
    Port 21 is the FTP port.
