EZGmsFeb 7 2013 — edited Feb 11 2013
Hi,

Im having a lot of problems when I try to send an email message using SYS.UTL_SMTP package:
my code is
create or replace
procedure P_EMAIL_DW_OPERATORS 
 is
            type TStrings is table of varchar2(1000);
    
            smtpSender      varchar2(100)   := 'sender.es@company.com';
            smtpRecipient   varchar2(100)   := 'myemail@company.com';
            mailSubject     varchar2(100)   := 'CRM-Alert';
            smtpConn         UTL_SMTP.connection;
   
            cursor cur is
            
            
                   select  '<tr bgcolor = ''silver'' align = ''center'' ><td>'||'OPERATOR'||'</td><td>'||
                           'ID_CFG_OPERATOR'||'</td><td>'||'DW_TIMESTAMP'||
                           '</td></tr>'
                           from dual
                      union all   
                   select  '<tr><td>'||operator||'</td><td>'||
                           id_cfg_operator||'</td><td>'||dw_timestamp||
                           '</td></tr>'
                   from    dw_bi_operators
                   where to_char(dw_timestamp,'dd-mm-yy') = to_char(sysdate,'dd-mm-yy') or
                   to_char(dw_timestamp,'dd-mm-yy') = to_char(sysdate - 1,'dd-mm-yy');
   
           mailBody        TStrings;
   
   BEGIN
           smtpConn := UTL_SMTP.open_connection( 'Server name', port);
           
           UTL_SMTP.helo( smtpConn, 'Server name' ); -- // this needs to be your Oracle server hostname or IP!
           
           UTL_SMTP.command (smtpConn, 'AUTH LOGIN');
           UTL_SMTP.command ( smtpConn, UTL_RAW.cast_to_varchar2 ( UTL_ENCODE.base64_encode (UTL_RAW.cast_to_raw ('sender.es@company.com')) ) );
           UTL_SMTP.command ( smtpConn, UTL_RAW.cast_to_varchar2 ( UTL_ENCODE.base64_encode (UTL_RAW.cast_to_raw ('password')) ) );
           
           UTL_SMTP.mail( smtpConn, smtpSender );
           UTL_SMTP.rcpt( smtpConn, smtpRecipient );
   
           -- can be done using an implicit cursor instead
           open cur;
           fetch cur bulk collect into mailBody;
           close cur;
   
           -- start sending mail body using the data command
           UTL_SMTP.open_data( smtpConn );
   
           -- write header
           UTL_SMTP.write_data( smtpConn, 'MIME-Version: 1.0'||utl_tcp.CRLF );
           UTL_SMTP.write_data( smtpConn, 'Content-Type: text/html'||utl_tcp.CRLF );
           UTL_SMTP.write_data( smtpConn, 'From: CRM Iberia Alert'||utl_tcp.CRLF);
           --||smtpSender||utl_tcp.CRLF );
           UTL_SMTP.write_data( smtpConn, 'To: '||smtpRecipient||utl_tcp.CRLF );
           UTL_SMTP.write_data( smtpConn, 'Subject: '||mailSubject||utl_tcp.CRLF );
   
           -- empty line between header and rest of mail body
           UTL_SMTP.write_data( smtpConn, utl_tcp.CRLF );
   
           -- now write the HTML
           UTL_SMTP.write_data( smtpConn, '<html><table border = 2>'||utl_tcp.CRLF );
           for i in 1..mailBody.Count
           loop
                   UTL_SMTP.write_data( smtpConn, mailBody(i)||utl_tcp.CRLF );
          end loop;
           UTL_SMTP.write_data( smtpConn, '</table></html>'||utl_tcp.CRLF );
   
           -- close the data command
           UTL_SMTP.close_data( smtpConn );
   
           UTL_SMTP.quit( smtpConn );
   end P_EMAIL_DW_OPERATORS;
and the output error is:
