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

[pipo]

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 ...

[helpme]

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

[pipo]

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

[helpme]

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.
