mail in oracle

Is it possible to send mails from oracle database 8i?

thank you

use UTL_SMTP

I find a problem with this


I give the email server..
and for to: if i give some id thats not in the mail server specified.....it gives error?

is this common or is it like..."i am at the rong end again"?
lol

thank you

what's the error ???
it's a normal behaviour to get something saying that the email address used is not a good one, but is should be easily trapped in PL/SQL ...

No its like
i send a mail to myself to my id of my organization it goes well
but i send it to my hotmail or yahoo or aol account...it never reaches me....
well to make u believe
I SWEAR.......lol

thank you

in this case I'd look at the mail server configuration ...

But why would i get the internal mails......

The mail server may not be configured to act as a "relay" - so you would get your internal mails but can't send to outside accounts. Please talk to your mail administrator - she/he would be able to confirm this.
