    P_FROM     =>  '[email protected]',
    P_CC       =>  '[email protected]',
    P_BCC      =>  '[email protected]',
    P_SUBJ     => 'test',
    P_BODY     => 'test');
   apex_mail.push_queue('10.1.1.100', 25);
End;
SELECT * FROM APEX_MAIL_QUEUE;
I get ORA-24247: network access denied by access control list (ACL) . I also see last_updated as SYS in the log

Hi Mike,
  Thanks for your reply, Let me give you a detail on where we are stuck on send mail.
   We have a Schema called PORTAL
  We are able to send mail from UTL_SMTP as mentioned below in a procedure
create or replace PROCEDURE send_mail (p_to        IN VARCHAR2,
                                       p_from      IN VARCHAR2,
                                       p_message   IN VARCHAR2,
                                       p_smtp_host IN VARCHAR2,
                                       p_smtp_port IN NUMBER DEFAULT 25)
AS
  l_mail_conn   UTL_SMTP.connection;
BEGIN
  l_mail_conn := UTL_SMTP.open_connection(p_smtp_host, p_smtp_port);
  UTL_SMTP.helo(l_mail_conn, p_smtp_host);
  UTL_SMTP.mail(l_mail_conn, p_from);
  UTL_SMTP.rcpt(l_mail_conn, p_to);
  UTL_SMTP.data(l_mail_conn, p_message || UTL_TCP.crlf || UTL_TCP.crlf);
  UTL_SMTP.quit(l_mail_conn);
END;
Begin
send_mail('[email protected]','[email protected]','test','10.0.0.100','25');
End;
The above code works i am able to send and receive mails.
We also create ACL as mentioned below
begin
dbms_network_acl_admin.create_acl (
acl => 'http_permission.xml', -- or any other name
description => 'HTTP Access',
principal => 'APEX_040100', -- the user name trying to access the network resource
is_grant => TRUE,
privilege => 'connect',
start_date => null,
end_date => null
end;
commit;
SELECT * FROM dba_network_acl_privileges where principal='APEX_040100';
begin
DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.ADD_PRIVILEGE(acl => 'http_permission.xml',
principal => 'APEX_040100',
is_grant => true,
privilege => 'connect');
end;
commit;
begin
DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.ADD_PRIVILEGE(acl => 'http_permission.xml',
principal => 'APEX_040100',
is_grant => true,
privilege => 'resolve');
end;
commit;
BEGIN
dbms_network_acl_admin.assign_acl (
acl => 'http_permission.xml',
host => '10.1.1.100', /*can be computer name or IP , wildcards are accepted as well for example - '*.us.oracle.com'*/
lower_port => 80,
upper_port => 80
END;
But still we are getting same ACL Error Please suggest US
ORA-24247: network access denied by access control list (ACL)
Thanks
