Hi,
I need to send emails with attachments containg word, excel or PDF documents using cfmail. However this email needs to be really secure. How is the best way to secure the entire email with its attachments.
Any ideas appreciated

Hi ,
I hope the following will help you..., using the UTL_SMTP db package.
DECLARE
c UTL_SMTP.CONNECTION;
PROCEDURE send_header(name IN VARCHAR2, header IN VARCHAR2) AS
BEGIN
UTL_SMTP.WRITE_DATA(c, name || ': ' || header || UTL_TCP.CRLF);
END;
BEGIN
-- Open connection to SMTP gateway
c := UTL_SMTP.OPEN_CONNECTION('smtp.server.acme.com');
UTL_SMTP.HELO(c, 'acme.com');
UTL_SMTP.MAIL(c, '[email protected]');
UTL_SMTP.RCPT(c, '[email protected]');
UTL_SMTP.OPEN_DATA(c);
send_header('From', '"Oracle Admin" ');
send_header('To', '"Bob Smith" ');
send_header('Subject', 'Automated Database Email');
UTL_SMTP.WRITE_DATA(c, utl_tcp.CRLF || 'This is an automated email from the Oracle database.');
UTL_SMTP.WRITE_DATA(c, utl_tcp.CRLF || 'The database is working for you!');
UTL_SMTP.CLOSE_DATA(c);
UTL_SMTP.QUIT(c);
END;
