UTL_SMTP in 11g DB

Question

hi,
I have a procedure for sending email from forms. The procedure is created in pl/sql.
It is working in 9i. but due to the new security in 11g the procedure in not working.
SEND_MAIL('sender email','recpientemail','header','message');
I am getting error ORA-24247.
I have checked in oracle site and found an article about this error code.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/oracle-database-11g-top-features/11g-security.html
i created the following :
begin
dbms_network_acl_admin.create_acl (
acl => 'utlpkg.xml',
description => 'Normal Access',
principal => 'CONNECT',
is_grant => TRUE,
privilege => 'connect',
start_date => null,
end_date => null
end;
Begin
dbms_network_acl_admin.add_privilege (
acl => 'utlpkg.xml',
principal => 'myuserid',
is_grant => TRUE,
privilege => 'connect',
start_date => null,
end_date => null);
End;
begin
dbms_network_acl_admin.assign_acl (
acl => 'utlpkg.xml',
host => 'mail.eim.ae',
lower_port => 22,
upper_port => 55);
end;
but still not working and where is in the above code saying about UTL_SMTP.

hi
Install UTL_MAIL:
# SQLPLUS SYS AS SYSDBA
SQL> @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlmail.sql
SQL> @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/prvtmail.plb
You define the SMTP_OUT_SERVER parameter in the init.ora rdbms initialization file. However, if SMTP_OUT_SERVER is not defined, this invokes a default of DB_DOMAIN which is guaranteed to be defined to perform appropriately.
Ensure that you are connected as SYS using the SYSDBA privilege, and then grant the following privileges to the Database Vault Owner account.
For example:
CONNECT SYS/AS SYSDBA
Enter password: password
GRANT CREATE PROCEDURE, DROP ANY PROCEDURE TO dbvowner;
GRANT EXECUTE ON UTL_TCP TO dbvowner;
GRANT EXECUTE ON UTL_SMTP TO dbvowner;
GRANT EXECUTE ON UTL_MAIL TO dbvowner;
GRANT EXECUTE ON DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN TO dbvowner;
The UTL_TCP, UTL_SMTP, UTL_MAIL, and DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN PL/SQL packages are used by the e-mail security alert that you will create.
Connect to SQL*Plus as the Oracle Database Owner (DV_OWNER) account.
For example:
CONNECT dbvowner
Enter password: password
Create the following procedure:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE email_alert AS
msg varchar2(20000) := ‘Realm violation occurred for the ALTER TABLE Command Security Policy rule set. The time is: ‘;
BEGIN
msg := msg||to_char(SYSDATE, ‘Day DD MON, YYYY HH24:MI:SS’);
UTL_MAIL.SEND (
sender => ‘[email protected]’,
recipients => ‘[email protected]’,
subject => ‘Table modification attempted outside maintenance!’,
message => msg);
END email_alert;
Replace [email protected] with your e-mail address, and [email protected] with the e-mail address of the person you want to receive the notificationsarah
