HARD CODED EMAIL MESSAGES FROM AN ORACLE FORM

Question

I have SMTP code in a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED TRIGGER which will preformat the recipient line, the courtesy copy line, the subject line, and a hard coded email message and then send the email to another co-worker inhouse in our organization whenever a user would press a button on an ORACLE FORM.
Would this same code be useful if the user wanted to send an email to another user in another organization millions of miles away? Do I have to be concerned about how the email system is set up in the other organization and code the program specifically for that particular organization? Here is the code that I am using.
PROCEDURE SEND_INFO
Sender varchar2 := :SUPPLY_REQUEST.NAME,
Recipient varchar2 := :SUPPLY_REQUEST.SENDNAME,
Recipient4 varchar2 := :SUPPLY_REQUEST.OTHNAME4,
Ccrecipient varchar2 := ' ',
Subject varchar2 := 'TODAY IS ANOTHER DAY OF YOUR LIFE',
Message varchar2 := 'IS THIS IS A GOOD DAY ?'
) IS
crlf Varchar2(2) := CHR(13)||CHR(10);
connection utl_smtp.connection;
Mailhost Varchar2(30) := 'erecemh1-bh.erec.army.mil';
header VARCHAR2(1000);
BEGIN
connection := utl_SMTP.open_connection(mailhost);
header := 'Date: '||TO_CHAR(NEW_TIME(SYSDATE,'EST','GMT'),'fm DD MON YY HH24:MI:SS AM')||crlf||
'From: '||sender||' '||crlf||
'To: '||recipient||','||recipient4||crlf||
'CC: '||ccrecipient||crlf||
'Subject: '||subject;
utl_SMTP.helo(connection, mailhost);
utl_SMTP.mail(connection, sender);
utl_SMTP.rcpt(connection, recipient);
utl_SMTP.rcpt(connection, recipient4);
utl_SMTP.open_data(connection);
utl_SMTP.write_data(connection, header||crlf);
utl_SMTP.write_data(connection, crlf ||message|| crlf);
utl_SMTP.close_data(connection);
utl_SMTP.quit(connection);
EXCEPTION
WHEN UTL_SMTP.INVALID_OPERATION THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('INVALID OPERATION IN SMTP TRANSACTION.');
WHEN UTL_SMTP.TRANSIENT_ERROR THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('tEMPORARY PROBLEMS WITH SENDING EMAIL - TRY AGAIN LATER.');
WHEN UTL_SMTP.PERMANENT_ERROR THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('ERRORS IN CODE FOR SMTP TRANSACTION');
END;
In another step of the program, I have initialized the variables:
SUPPLY_REQUEST.NAME to '[email protected]'
SUPPLY_REQUEST.OTHNAME4 to '[email protected]'
SUPPLY_REQUEST.SENDNAME to '[email protected]'

Depends on your mail server. If your mail server allows email to be sent out of your organization, then yes, you can email to another organization millions of miles away (or further).
Do I have to be concerned about how the email system is set up in the other organization
Generally, no. However they can set up their system to block emails coming from a certain address.
and code the program specifically for that particular organization?
Nope, just make sure you have their correct email address.
