I get an SMTP Transient Error 501: attribute too long

I have an email programme built using PL/SQL. It fails when the email is over 6K bytes long. It fails when the line "utl_smtp.close_data(v_connection);" is executed.
The following message/s returned :- "SMTP Transient error: 501Attribute too long" I also receive the message "SMTP Transient error: 421 Service not available"
Both of these error messages report against a valid emal address and don't occur if the email message is below 5K.
The mail server will accept emails up to 10MB
From the point of construction:
1) I collect the necessary data
2) I build 'The Email' (this is a CLOB)
3) I connect to the SMTP servicer
4) Open the connection for data
5) Then in a loop, write the data
6) exit the loop when all data written
7) At the instruction "utl_smtp.close_data(v_connection);" the it all turns to tears. Giving me "SMTP Transient error: 501Attribute too long" and sometimes "SMTP Transient error: 421 Service not available"
The programme works fine on email being only a few Kb in size.
Can anybody suggest what the problem may be and /or a method of resolving it aside from spliting the email into smaller secting then sending each section.

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.

im getting the error

kindly help . What is the problem exactly?

I'm having this same issue now.
This doesn't happen to my other databases on another server.
Basically, I have a startup trigger that sends out mail, and I'm finding on database on a particular (new) server, UTL_SMTP is getting this error.
Have you figured out your root cause?

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.

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

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.

Thanks for identifying utl_particionpackage. I tried to check the code of this package, but it has wrapped, so i cannot see the code.
But one thing i have observed - If utl_particion.truncate_partition internally calling UTL_SMTP package and I am getting error from this package then this will catch by below code -
         v_sql := utl_particion.truncate_partition('&3','<Table_Name>', v_partition_name);
            if v_sql!=0 then
                 raise_application_error(-20088,'Error in Truncate partition');
                :Ret := 2;
            end if;and after that it will catch by user define error exception block (This i did not mention in my earlier post)
    WHEN excepcion_ctrl THEN
        dbms_output.put_line (WRN: '|| substr(SQLERRM,4,200));
        :Ret:=0;But it has catch by when others exception -
I think inside utl_particion.truncate_partition procedure has proper exception handling. So when some error will occur it will return '0'. If there is no proper exception handling then we can assume the error will propagate to When Others Exception block.
Please tell me my understanding is correct or not.

SMTP transient error

Sometimes I get the following error message.
ORA-29278
which means
(SMTP transient error: string
Cause: An SMTP transient error occurred.
Action: Correct the error and retry the SMTP operation.)
My problem is this does not happen all the time. If the form works and then i get this message how can i track it down. I think someone here is doing something with the smtp. How do i know that smtp is working right now.

thanks for pointing out that documentation issue, i'll log it in a bit. we now call those internal preferences "engine settings". you can get to that section of the admin screens by clicking the first link available in the htmldb_admin interface called "Manage Engine Settings". make sure you do set your SMTP_HOST_ADDRESS and SMTP_HOST_PORT preferences from there before you do this mail stuff. once that's set, you can push you queue with a command like...
wwv_flow_mail.push_queue(
wwv_flow_platform.get_preference('SMTP_HOST_ADDRESS'),
wwv_flow_platform.get_preference('SMTP_HOST_PORT'));
...but you'll find your FLOWS_ user already has that db job scheduled by default. about your smtp error, i'd confirm that it's not a db issue first by trying to send mail from the operating system level. if you can send mail from there (w/o using the db and not from within html db), do let us know. the url in your error message, http://pobox.com/~djb/docs/smtplf.html, seems to suggest that the problem has to do with your SMTP server, so eliminating the other variables (like the db and html db) would be a good start.

UTL_SMTP with Sendmail: Solution for ORA-29278: SMTP transient error

For those of you migrating from Windows or other platforms to Linux (Redhat Enterprise AS 3.0, in my case) and have email routines using UTL_SMTP, I have a hard-earned hint for you. If your email routines are not working when you try to use the local smtp service (sendmail) try the following at the SQL prompt.
set serverout on
declare
c utl_smtp.connection;
r utl_smtp.reply;
begin
c := utl_smtp.open_connection('local.email.server', 25);
utl_smtp.helo(c,'local.email.server');
end;
If you get ORA-29278: SMTP transient error: 421 Service not available, try the following instead:
set serverout on
declare
c utl_smtp.connection;
r utl_smtp.reply;
begin
c := utl_smtp.open_connection('127.0.0.1', 25);
utl_smtp.helo(c,'127.0.0.1');
end;
And you should get success. So you should specify the internal loopback IP address for the email hostname in the open_connection function. It will not work with anything else (servername, localhost, NIC IP).
The reason for this is that there is a setting in the sendmail config file (/etc/mail/sendmail.mc) that causes sendmail to only listen on 127.0.0.1. As long as you aren't using sendmail as a relay, this isn't a problem.
Just specify 127.0.0.1 for the email hostname in the open_connection function.
Hope this helps someone.

My SMTP port -25
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
Manoj

SMTP permanent error: 501 5.1.7 Invalid address

hi,
I am getting follwoing error where executing procedure. i am able to send from that server
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29279: SMTP permanent error: 501 5.1.7 Invalid address
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_SMTP", line 21

Thanks,

Seems the issue is with the email address which you are referring to in your execution or else please check whether the smtp server is configured properly.

Bug? htmldb_util.reset_pw gives ORA-29278: SMTP transient error 451

After changing mailprovider we had some troubles mailing from the database.
After mailing to his SMTP-server we got the error message:
ORA-29278: SMTP transient error: 451
We were able to correct our custom code by replacing all the end-of-line LF with calls to
UTL_TCP.CRLF.
However, our Apex-application is still broken. By calling HTMLDB_UTIL.RESET_PW
the system should mail the new pwd to our user.
Should
But it doesn't
In the Mail Log/queue we again get the ORA-29278,
so my deduction is that in the message that RESET_PW assembles a single LF is
used and not the CRLF.
Question: is there a way to overcome this bug?
BTW, the SMTP-server is present. Writing a HTMLDB_MAIL.SEND by hand gives no trouble at all.

CRLF characters are required to separate each SMTP command, per RFC 821 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc0821.txt), and that is what the APEX_MAIL package does.
But the portion that "you are afraid of" which contains CHR(10) is the message[b] body of the reset password functionality of APEX - there can be any combination of characters in there. It is not a requirement that the body of the message uses CRLF for line endings. So, unfortunately, I don't think the deduction applies here.
Let's start with some basic things. If you change the "SMTP Host Address" in the internal Administration Services of APEX to a known good SMTP host, does the problem go away?
451 means "Requested action aborted: error in processing". That could be anything. It could even be an issue with your provider, your connection to the provider, etc. Does your provider have a log of the incoming "conversation" and a log of the abort? That may be helpful.
Joel
P.S. By the way, which version of Application Express/HTML DB are you using?

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.

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.

I get an SMTP Transient Error 501: attribute too long
