EHLO 501 Syntax error in parameters or arguments -

Hello
I have 2 hp-ux 11i boxes one production one demo.... When trying to send e-mail from the production box I am getting the following (see below) If I run the script as root on the production box it is working. Any ideas on where I populate those ehlo response fields? The messages are just going from Internal Unix boxes to an internal SMTP gateway. I have no issues with the scipt on the demo box regardless of which user is running it.

For some reason (probably misconfiguration of your
machine or name service), the java.net.InetAddress
class isn't able to find out the name of your machine.
You can specify that manually by setting an
appropriate property. See the javadocs for the
com.sun.mail.smtp package.

ORA-29279: SMTP permanent error: 501 Syntax error in parameters or argument

Hello,
I have this error during send e-mail via Interactive Report subscription. (APEX 4.0 using Apex Listener using Oracle Database 10.2.0.4)
I tried to use
APEX_MAIL using this code
BEGIN
APEX_MAIL.SEND(
P_TO => '[email protected]',
P_FROM => '[email protected]',
P_BODY => 'Test',
P_SUBJ => 'Test sub');
END;
I get the same error.
I tried this with success.
BEGIN
APEX_MAIL.SEND(
P_TO => '<[email protected]>',
P_FROM => '<[email protected]>',
P_BODY => 'Test',
P_SUBJ => 'Test sub');
END;
My problem is that, when i tried to put <> in my subscription, I have an error invalid email address.
How must i configure this to be able to send email?
Regards
Eric Henrard

We found what is wrong about this.
The problem is in CC we had a e-mail address has one space like this test [email protected] so UTL_smtp doesn't like this kind format then we recreated a new e-mail address without space and it works fine.

You have a job running in the database. Its job ID is 754461
It looks as if that job runs APPS.HKD_PO_ADDON_PKG
That job is attempting to send mail using UTL_SMTP and apparently passing some strange value to SMTP server for the RCPT TO: parameter.

Hi All,
I have a scenario idoc to file when I try sending file through the FTP connection I got the below error
An error occurred while connecting to the FTP server 'ftp-gw.dx.dxxxx.com:21'. The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 501 Syntax errors in parameter. usage: %[recipient id]%[APRF] where either [recipient] or [APRF] can be omitted. (to change your current default SEND relationship). %% (places you in your 'HOME' TR). &['s'|'single'] ('get' command gets single file). &['m'|'multiple'] ('get' command gets multiple files). '. For details, contact your FTP server vendor.
I have gone through the forum below which is also unanswered

Unable to send Email: ORA-29279: SMTP permanent error: 501 Syntax error in

We have a procedure use utl_smtp in 10g (10.0.4). we got this msg (Unable to send Email: ORA-29279: SMTP permanent error: 501 Syntax error in arguments) when send e-mail to another mail box (internal),
but we use the same procedure running in 10g(10.03) it works perfectly. Is Oracle 10g(10.0.4 vs. 10.0.3) causing this issue ? Can someone shed some lights on my head ? Thx.

Help!!!! I am getting a 501 Syntax Error with CFFTP ListDir. I created the file in January of 2014 and today is the first time it has failed.


<cfsetting requesttimeout="600">
<cfset thisDate = now()>
<cfset today = #DateFormat(thisDate,"mm-dd-yyyy")#>

<cfftp connection="MyFtp"
    server="#FTPserver#"
    username="#username#"
    password="#password#"
    action="Open"
    stoponerror="Yes">
<cfftp action="listdir"
stopOnError="Yes"
name="Files"
directory="/export400"
connection="MyFtp"

Try removing the quotes from around the connection name in your CFFTP lisdir block. So change the last line to connection=MyFtp instead of connection="MyFtp".

Hi ,
FTP 501 Error is: "Syntax error in parameters or arguments"
Also, i see that the ftp address and port mentioned in your case is:
10.100.5.00:20
Hence, i see three probable issues here.
1. FTP Port :
Just check if the FTP server's port number '20' mentioned in your case is open as this is the data connection port. Moreover, the default port mentioned while creating a file channel is 21. Just check about the port number '20' with the FTP server administrator if this port number is opened and functioning.
2. FTP server address:
Also, try giving your FTP Server's address as 10.100.5.0
3. Also, check if the FTP server is reachable from the PI Server by using a simple ping command.

Why are my emails addressed to yahoo and mindspring clients being rejected for syntax errors?

Here is the error message:
Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:
Lisa@[email protected]
Technical details of permanent failure:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the recipient domain yahoo.com by mta7.am0.yahoodns.net. [98.138.112.37].
The error that the other server returned was:
501 Syntax error in parameters or arguments

Thanks, Zenos! My little test seemed to go through with no problems. One additional piece of information that puzzles me is that I used the address with the superfluous @ for two weeks before the failures - hmmmm.
Having said that, I should not have used the @ in the address - period. It would be nice to have Thunderbird catch that when I entered the address initially. I am currently using Version 32.0, which I believe to be the latest version.
Thanks for solving it so quickly!

Syntax error in profile relation while retreiving configuration parameters

Trying to get our Directory Services properly functioning after an IP change. Running
# kadmin.local -q listprincs
yesterday revealed that all service principals weren't set up properly. Dig dig dig... found that I might (since this server was originally 10.3--now it's 10.4.4) try
# slapconfig -kerberize diradmin
That pointed me in the direction of using Workgroup Manager to fix a couple things with the KerberosClient record for the server. Did that. Reran the command. It complained about an improperly formatted configuration file because it wiped the contents of edu.mit.Kerberos (took out the DNS bits). Then ran
# kerberosautoconfig -u
which resulted in
MergeLoggingInfo: creating default logging info
At this point, edu.mit.Kerberos looked good. Then I tried
# /usr/sbin/kdcsetup -f /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 -w -a diradmin -p ** -v 1 REALM
which resulted in

ps. The typo in the error message is MIT's, not mine. I guess their engineering departments are better than their English department.

Look at the two config files:
/Library/Preferences/edu.mit.Kerberos
/var/db/krb5kdc/kdc.log
the Database is locked or in use message is due to a missing lock file.
Look in /var/db/krb5kdc/ for principal.kadm5.lock
Hope this gets you started

Syntax error in form parameters

HI,
In ECC 6.0, LIKE is obsolete , so I want to change it to TYPE. I replaced all LIKE to TYPE. In my code I call a form subroutine and in the changing parameter i have two internal tables passed. Earlier the statement was
PERFORM zz_routine USING I_VBAK
                                CHANGING T_VBUK[]
                                                  T_VBAP[].
where I_VBAK TYPE VBAK and
T_VBUK     TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF VBUKVB.
T_VBAP     TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF VBAPVB.
Now in the recieving paramters how do I mention these using TYPE
I did as follows
Form zz_routine USING value(ss_vbak) TYPE VBAK
     CHANGING xt_vbuk TYPE STAnDARD TABLE OF VBUKVB
           xt_vbap TYPE STAnDARD TABLE OF VBAPVB
Now, I get the syntax error
"OF" has already been declared.
What does that mean ? what is the correct way to say that I need to receive a table type data in the form ?
thnks

Declare a Table Type which you can use to reference in your Form Parameters.
Like:
types: ty_t_vbap type standard table of VBAPVB.
data: t_vbap type ty_t_vbap.
PERFORM zz_routine using ia_vbak
changing t_vbap.
Form zz_routine USING value(ss_vbak) TYPE VBAK
CHANGING xt_vbap type ty_t_vbap.
ENDFORM.

UTL.MAIL error ORA-29279: SMTP permanent error: 501 Address Syntax Error in

Hi,
I am new to the forum so please excuse if I post incorrectly without conforming to the standards.
We need to send mails using the UTL.MAIL package and have installed them on the database.
Whenever I am trying to send an email I am getting the following error:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29279: SMTP permanent error: 501 Address Syntax Error in
[email protected]
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_MAIL", line 654
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_MAIL", line 671
ORA-06512: at line 2
The test code which I am running is as follows:
BEGIN
UTL_MAIL.send(sender => 'test <[email protected]>',
recipients => '[email protected]',
subject => 'UTL_MAIL test subject',
message => 'UTL_MAIL test body');
END;
I have tried different combinations:
BEGIN
UTL_MAIL.send(sender => 'test "<[email protected]>"',
recipients => '[email protected]',
subject => 'UTL_MAIL test subject',
message => 'UTL_MAIL test body');
END;
even tried
BEGIN
UTL_MAIL.send(sender => '[email protected]',
recipients => '[email protected]',
subject => 'UTL_MAIL test subject',
message => 'UTL_MAIL test body');
END;
Everytime I am getting the same error.
This seems to be working with an exchange mail server but never on the SMTP server.
In the SMTP server logs the sender address is not having the angular brackets <> unlike the other mails which are being sent over.
It seems that the SMTP server is pretty strict and the SMTP admin will not change any settings on the server.
The oracle version is as follows
Oracle Database 11g Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
Could you please help me out with a solution.
Some how the angular brackets are geting stripped off (which UTL MAIL package generally does), Is there any way in which I can include the angular brackets.

I dislike UTL_MAIL - clunky and poor abstraction interface, and not well written.
Had a look at the code. It does this:
WHILE (ALL_RCPTS IS NOT NULL) LOOP
UTL_SMTP.RCPT(MAIL_CONN,'<' || GET_ADDRESS(ALL_RCPTS) || '>');
END LOOP;The GET_ADDRESS() function process the ALL_RCPTS parameter, returns the 1st address from it, and updates the (in/out) parameter with the remaining string.
SQL> var address varchar2(200);
SQL> exec :address := '<[email protected]>,[email protected]';
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> exec dbms_output.put_line( 'get_address='||UTL_MAIL.GET_ADDRESS(:address)||' address='||:address );
get_address=[email protected] address=[email protected]
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> exec dbms_output.put_line( 'get_address='||UTL_MAIL.GET_ADDRESS(:address)||' address='||:address );
get_address=[email protected] address=
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> The address is explicitly surrounded by brackets as per the RFC. So that is what your SMTP server should see.
If not - perhaps then our UTL_MAIL versions do not match. Cannot recall from what version I pulled and unwrapped the UTL_MAIL package code I have.
Personally though, I've ceased using UTL_MAIL a while back. It lacks in may respects. I have written my own mail package that supports multiple attachment, complex Mime formatting, attachments of 20+ MB in size, and so on - running on the UTL_SMTP interface (that provides the transport layer for sending mail). And for issues like you are facing, I suggest considering using UTL_SMTP directly.

Hi APC,
Yep HELO returns 250. Here is the code i use followed by the output. I use valid e-mail addresses(changed them here cz they belong to real ppl :) ). Again, i am able to send mails via java mailing API's, to the same recipietn from same sender via same smtp server.
Code :------
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE mail
IS
v_connection UTL_SMTP.CONNECTION;
value UTL_SMTP.reply;
PROCEDURE send_header(name IN VARCHAR2, header IN VARCHAR2) AS
BEGIN
UTL_SMTP.write_data(v_connection, name || ': ' || header || utl_tcp.CRLF);
END;
BEGIN
v_connection := UTL_SMTP.OPEN_CONNECTION('smtp.server',25);
dbms_output.put_line('Connection Opened');
dbms_output.put_line('before calling helo');
value := UTL_SMTP.HELO(v_connection,'smtp.server');
dbms_output.put_line('after calling helo');
dbms_output.put_line('code ' || value.code);
dbms_output.put_line('before Sender is set');
value := UTL_SMTP.MAIL(v_connection,'[email protected]');
dbms_output.put_line('code ' || value.code);
dbms_output.put_line('text ' || value.text);
UTL_SMTP.RCPT(v_connection,'[email protected]');
dbms_output.put_line('Recipient Set');
UTL_SMTP.open_data(v_connection);
send_header('From','"Sender" <[email protected]>');
send_header('To','"Recipient" <[email protected]>');
send_header('Subject','Hello');
UTL_SMTP.write_data(v_connection, UTL_TCP.CRLF || 'Hello, world!');
UTL_SMTP.close_data(v_connection);
dbms_output.put_line('Message body set');
UTL_SMTP.QUIT(v_connection);
dbms_output.put_line('Connection Closed');
END;
Output:--------
Connection Opened
before calling helo
after calling helo
code 250
before Sender is set
code 501
text Bad address syntax
Looking forward to hearing from youself. :)

I keep getting this message when I open my outlook mail - syntax error in arguments. What is it and how do I fix it?

I keep getting the message - syntax error in arguments when I open Outlook. Why? And how do I correct it?

Hi,
I don't know the exact fix for your problem, but there is a thread on the Microsoft answers page that talks about this error message being related to a particular key.
And if you remove that key, you can fix Windows update. See below for the detailed information and scroll to the bottom to see where someone found the fix:
