UTL_MAIL.send - 5.1.0 address does not conform to RFC 2821 syntax

Question

Hi,
I am trying to get the UTL_MAIL package to run on my instance..
But unfortunatly all examples fail...
For example :
BEGIN
UTL_MAIL.send(sender => '<[email protected]>',
recipients => '<[email protected]>',
cc => '<[email protected]>',
bcc => '<[email protected]>',
subject => 'UTL_MAIL Test',
message => 'If you get this message it worked!');
END;
results in following error message :
ORA-29279: SMTP permanent error: 553 5.7.1 [email protected].. 5.1.0 address does not conform to RFC 2821 syntax
Adding or removing the by the RFC 2821 required <> around the email addresses does not make any difference...
I have checked the SMTP log, and in there the email addresses are stated WITHOUT the <> .....
Somehow i am assuming that UTL_MAIL stripes the <> from the email address before submitting it to the SMTP server....
Any ideas how to fix or debug ??
Regards,
Fred
P.S. I have been submitting this from the 'SQL Commands' window, might this be the problem ?? If so, how else to test email functionality?

I got this to work successfully using relaying through comcast.net, port 25, while on the comcast network using the following page process
-- create the mail
htmldb_mail.send(
p_to => '<'||:P1_TO||'>',
p_from => '<'||:P1_FROM||'>',
p_body => :P1_BODY,
p_SUBJ => :P1_SUBJECT);
-- send the mail
htmldb_mail.push_queue();
