Email going into email queue and not being sent out.

Question

All i have the following code
declare
appuseremail varchar(90);
pospectname varchar(90);
salescontact varchar(90);
salescontactemail varchar(90);
createdon varchar(90);
targetdate varchar(90);
posstatus varchar(90);
statusmsg varchar(500);
bususeremail varchar(100);
sendtolist varchar(4000);
sendtocclist varchar(4000);
begin
-- store the current users email address, so we can send him/her a copy
select email into appuseremail from app_users where user_name = :APP_USER;
select (firstname ||' '|| lastname)into salescontact from app_users where user_id = :P2_SALES_CONTACT;
select email into salescontactemail from app_users where user_id = :P2_SALES_CONTACT;
select email into bususeremail from app_users where user_name = :APP_USER;
-- store the number of users that have been recerted
pospectname := :P2_COM_NAME ;
createdon := :P2_CREATE_DATE;
targetdate := :P2_TARGET_DATE;
posstatus := :P2_COM_STATUS;
-- Build status message on status variable
if posstatus = 'Accepted' THEN
  statusmsg := 'The commissions request for customer "'||pospectname||'" has been accepted by '||bususeremail||', and requires your input.</font><br><br> The commission request details are.';
  FOR c1 IN (SELECT email from app_users where roleid = (select role_id from app_roles where role_name = 'OPS')) LOOP
   -- Add each user to the email list.
    sendtolist := sendtolist||c1.email||',';
  END LOOP;
FOR c2 IN (SELECT email from app_users where roleid = (select role_id from app_roles where role_name = 'BUSINESS')) LOOP
   -- Add each user to the email list.
  sendtocclist := sendtocclist||c2.email||',';
END LOOP;
  sendtolist := sendtolist||salescontactemail;
  sendtocclist := sendtocclist||salescontactemail;
end if;
end;When i run this the first loop gets update and then the second list gets update, but when i go into the admin panel i see the messages are held in the email queue , why is this ?

Hi Ben,
I had the same problem. If you go into the INTERNAL workspace, mail settings, make sure it is pointing to your mail server there and not "localhost". Here is my post:
