Hi Oracle Database Gurus, What is the issue suddently the Database stopped sending Emails

  • 0

Hi Oracle Database Gurus,
What is the issue suddently the Database stopped sending Emails out after it is upgraded from Oracle 10g to 11g R1? I double check the email demon on the server it is working fine when I send an email from the linux command line (not through an database procedue). And the smtp_out_server parameter value is the same before and after the upgrade…
Thanks!

    Do you get any errors? The first thing that jumps to mind is that 11g introduces more fine-grained permissions for packages like UTL_MAIL and UTL_SMTP that interact with other servers. Your DBA would need to create an appropriate network ACL in order to allow you to access external servers from within your PL/SQL code.

    If you don’t have sufficient permission, your code should be getting an “ORA-24247: network access denied by access control list (ACL)” error. Are you getting such an error? Or is it possible that you have a WHEN OTHERS exception handler that is hiding that error from you?

    Do you see any rows in USER_NETWORK_ACL_PRIVILEGES (or DBA_NETWORK_ACL_PRIVILEGES or ALL_NETWORK_ACL_PRIVILEGES depending on what user you’re logging in as, what user is sending mail, and your privilege level)? If so, is there a row for your mail server with whatever port range your SMTP server is listening on?
