Utl_mail

Hi all,
I installed utl_mail and tried sending a test email to myself and got this error from this anonymous pl/sql block I wrote:
NOTE: I replaced my actual email address with [email protected]
begin
utl_mail.send('[email protected]', '[email protected]', NULL, NULL, 'Change Notification', 'test mail', 'text/plain; charset=us-ascii', NULL);
end;
ORA-29279: SMTP permanent error: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for [email protected]

ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_MAIL", line 424
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_MAIL", line 594
ORA-06512: at line 2
If anyone could provide any help I would really appreciate it. It was easy to install and I verified the ip address and port from my outlook account when I set it up.
Thanks in advance for your replies!

Check email addresses, and verify connectivity issues with your smtp server.
Next, I suggest you to read these threads, you will find practical utl_mail examples:

Send mail to distribution list using UTL_MAIL.SEND

Oracle 10.2.0.4.0
Does UTL_MAIL.SEND support sending mail to a distribution list?. The doc says, the recipient mail-id should be separated by a comma. The distribution list has mail-id separated by a comma. I executed a test case sending a mail to a distribution list, I did not receive any error or exception. I did not receive the test mail as well!!.
Has anyone used the UTL_MAIL.SEND to send mails to a distribution list?.
Thanks

Has anyone used the UTL_MAIL.SEND to send mails to a distribution list?.Oracle RDBMS does not know or care is email address is single recipient or list.
It sends message to name provided.
It is up to MTA to deliver any message it gets.
Are you 100% certain that message got to MTA & was successfully processed by it?

Reg.SMTP Error while using UTL_MAIL in Oracle 10g

Hi,
I am getting the following SMTP error while trying to use the UTL.MAIL package of Oracle 10g. The query is as follows.
begin
utl_mail.send(
sender => 'NAVEEN',
recipients => '[email protected]',
subject => 'Testing utl_mail',
message => 'The receipt of this email means'|| ' that UTL_MAIL works'
end;
UTL_MAIL package is installesd and the port 25 is configured and firewall is changed.
The same block was working fine before 5 days and now is giving the error as
ORA-29279: SMTP permanent error: 501 badly formatted MAIL FROM user - no "<"

Can you back that statement about an Oracle UTL_SMTP bug up with an actual bug number??
From what you have posted, this is not a bug!! but expected and documented (RFC'ed) SMTP server behaviour.
My proof:

/home/billy>
As you can clearly see, the SMTP server expects a DOMAIN name as part of the MAIL FROM address. It also does not accept the alternative format suggested.
Yes, not all SMTP servers are equal and some support additional formatting.
But to imply that because the SMTP server does not accept your address formatted as string NAVEEN, it is a UTL_SMTP problem, sounds like a smelly one to me.

How to attach multiple files in UTL_MAIL.SEND_ATTACH_VARCHAR2 method

Hi all ,
I had written a pl/sql where it will write multiple csvs i.e. a.csv,b.csv,c.csv,d.csv to a location using UTL_FILE to reports folder .
How do i attach a.csv,b.csv,c.csv,d.csv into a single mail ??
UTL_MAIL.send_attach_raw (sender => '[email protected]',
recipients => 'recepient.com.sg',
subject => 'Reports',
MESSAGE => 'Reports are attached above',
mime_type => 'text/html; charset=UTF8',

UTL_MAIL does not work like that - you pointing to an external file and telling it to grab it and attached it to your e-mail.
If you refer to the manual, the attachment parameter specifies it must contain the contents of the file.
So your code needs to open the file. Your code needs to read the contents of the file. Your code needs to close the file. Your code needs to supply the contents text to UTL_MAIL via the attachment parameter.
And as there is only a single attachment parameter, only a single file's contents can be supplied as attachment.
Multiple attachments? Then you need to do what UTL_MAIL does. You need to write code that creates a valid e-mail Mime body. The Mime body must allow for multiple attachment. The Mime body needs to be delivered as an e-mail via the UTL_SMTP package.

UTL_MAIL sent messages do not appear in the outbox OUTLOOK

Dear Forrum
Sorry for me bad english, I am not speak very well the english. I am from Ecuador.
I configured UTL_Mail because i need to send email and everything works good. But when I send an email with an email account associated with the domain that I configured. The outlook does not appear anything in the outbox.
Example
I sent a message [email protected] account, the message is sent and reaches all recipients. In the inbox of the recipients [email protected] appears as the sender, but when I enter my account Outllok in the outbox nothing appears. My account is [email protected]
What happens?
I am working with apex 11g.

So, Where sent messages are stored?
Because if I go into my email account nothing appears in the outbox?Of course not. Why would it appear in your e-mail reader's outbox when your e-mail reader did not send the e-mail ?
my Pl/sql looks like:
BEGIN
utl_mail.send(sender => '[email protected]',
recipients => '[email protected]',
subject => 'Test',
message => 'HOlix');
END;And this results in the Oracle database server to contact the mail server and send the mail. Your e-mail client is not part of this process. Your e-mail reader does not know about that e-mail. Your e-mail reader is a client- not a server. It has no reason to know what another e-mail client (your PL/SQL code) send or did not send.
You want an outbox? You need then to design and code one for your PL/SQL mail client.
I dont understand what happen?Perhaps you should read up on WHAT a mail (SMTP) server is, HOW it works, and WHAT a PPOP3/IMAP mailbox is, and HOW that works?

You need to define it (using a SYSDBA account) as follows:
SQL> alter system set smtp_out_server='<your-smtp-server>' scope=both;Replace +<your-smtp-server>+ with the IP address or host name of your SMTP server. Also this assumes standard SMTP tcp/25 port is used. If not, add the port number (using a colon separator) to the server name.

But, you apparently do have an internet account (usually nowadays internet and email etc. is 'all included'), else you wouldn't be posting here. So, let's assume your provider is ACME and you live in Holland (= .nl), then you could try:
ALTER SYSTEM SET smtp_out_server='smtp.acme.nl' SCOPE=SPFILE;
You need to figure that out yourself, since we don't know who provides you internet access (nor whether it would work).
That would be the simplest way.
Not sure whether you can get gmail etc. to 'work with you': Re: utl.mail - smtp_out_server parameter

Utl_mail.send_attach_varchar2 issue

If I try to execute package below on 10.2.0.2 (on Solaris 10), then the attachment I receive in the email has two rows where first row is empty and the second row has a text 200708, aaaa, xxxx
Any idea why? The attachment should have only one single row with text 200708, aaaa, xxxx why there are two rows and the first is empty?
BEGIN
utl_mail.send_attach_varchar2( sender => '[email protected]',
recipients =>'[email protected]',
subject => 'TEST',
message => 'This is a test',
attachment => '200708, aaaa, xxxx',
att_filename => 'test.txt');
END;

Interesting, I get the same results running your code. The attached file has a leading blank line. Double checking the mail file in a hex editor shows that there is indeed an extra CRLF preceding the text that should be the body of your message. This is probably a bug in the implementation of the UTL_MAIL package that you could request help with from customer support. If you don't want to go through customer support, your other option would be to fore go using UTL_MAIL and instead go straight to UTL_SMTP, or grab a copy of the DEMO_MAIL package from OTN.

UTL_MAIL.send_attach_varchar2 add CrLf in attachment

I'm having problems with UTL_MAIL... I need to send a RTF document attached to an email. But UTL_MAIL seems to add CrLf first in the attachement!
If I try to send a realy simple file, just contailing 'Test' then the attachment will be chr(13)||chr(10)||Test. !!
What ever is wrong, is wrong in this code snip...
UTL_MAIL.send_attach_varchar2
sender => '[email protected]',

attachment => 'Test',
att_inline => FALSE,
att_mime_type => 'application/octet',
att_filename => 'log.txt'
I have tried differnet Mime types and file names.... But nothing seems to help...
I'm using a Oracle Xe 10.2.0.1.0.
Can anybody explain whats failing???

I don't know if this is the cause but why would anyone be on 10.2.0.1 this many years after so many patches have been released?
Also consider attaching your file as raw rather than text. Does that solve the problem?
