PL/SQL Mail Utility :: Binary/Ascii/Cc/Bcc/FileDump

Question

I was working on my mail package and decided it was overtly complicated and
stripped it down to its bare bones. Here is what I came up with. Built on a previous
foundation of anothers work, I expanded the functionality considerably. You will find all
the features I think that you will need regarding a mail routine. There is also a nice
filedump routine included which makes very easy to create flat file dumps that you can
then attach to your emails. There are a few pre-reqs in using this though :
- 9iR2+
- DBA_Directories defined as opposed to utl_file paths
- Java Virtual Machine. Document can be found in “Note :105472.1 Setup, Configuration,
and Use of the Java Virtual Machine” on metalink.
As always, I welcome feedback and suggestions for improvement.

This version allows for a customized seperator value. Using this function will allow you to
perform fixed width flat files by defining '' for no seperator and then RPAD/LPAD your columns as necessary.
Or use whatever seperator you wish to use, pipe, space, zeros, etc.

This procedure uses the UTL_TCP package to send an email message.
Up to three file names may be specified as attachments.
Written: Dave Wotton, 14/6/01 (Cambridge UK)
This script comes with no warranty or support. You are free to
modify it as you wish, but please retain an acknowledgement of
my original authorship.
Amended: Dave Wotton, 10/7/01
Now uses the utl_smtp.write_data() method to send the message,
eliminating the 32Kb message size constraint imposed by the
utl_smtp.data() procedure.
Amended: Dave Wotton, 20/7/01
Increased the v_line variable, which holds the file attachment
lines from 400 to 1000 bytes. This is the maximum supported
by RFC2821, The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol specification.
Amended: Dave Wotton, 24/7/01
Now inserts a blank line before each MIME boundary line. Some
mail-clients require this.
Amended: Dave Wotton, 4/10/01
Introduced a 'debug' parameter. Defaults to 0. If set to
non-zero then errors in opening files for attaching are
reported using dbms_output.put_line.
Include code to hand MS Windows style pathnames.
Amended: Barry Chase, 4/29/03
Added Priority to procedure and also X-Mailer ID.
Removed restrictions for email size limitation as well.
Emails are now formatted text messages, meaning you can
write your message in html format.
And finally, changed from using UTL_SMTP to UTL_TCP instead.
Amended: Barry Chase 11/10/2003
Added session timeout of 4 minutes to prevent hanging server connections
Amended: Barry Chase 12/04/2003
Added Date String so that it represents timezone of originating server
p_datestring
Amended: Barry Chase 03/01/2004
Added functionality to support binary attachments and remote attachments.
Its about 98% complete. Not work perfectly yet. Still trying to figure out
encoding to base64 or mime. Have a good start on it though.
04/12/2004
BCHASE :: Binary Support is fully functional now.
09/01/2005
BCHASE :: Modified attachment directories to use DBA_DIRECTORIES instead
of UTL_DIR in the Oracle initialization file.
02/22/2006
BCHASE :: Added variable length message email support (CLOB)
04/21/2006
BCHASE :: Expanded functionality to include Cc and Bcc
Also removed redundant calls from package. The single
mail_files command will handle flat files and binary files such as zip/pdf/etc.
SMTP Server and SMTP Server Port are parameters on the sendmail procedure now
as well.

details on the original source code.

Answer 1

Perhaps your new SMTP server requires a more secure form of authentication than AUTH LOGIN. If you telnet to this new SMTP server on port 25 you should be issue the HELO or EHLO command to find out what AUTH mechanisms the server supports. You could then alter your code to use one of the supported authentication mechanisms.
