When I send e-mails using the package UTL_SMTP I am getting this error when executing the comand UTL_SMTP.MAIL:
501 5.1.7 Bad sender address syntax
I am passing olny the e-mail as second parameter. This occurs only with certain smtp servers.
The code is this:
sFrom := 'myemail@myserver.com';
Utl_Smtp.Mail(Connection, sFrom);
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
Sending email can be a bitch, see the post of the SO creator:

If this is only happening with some of the smtp servers, I would check the logs of those servers to see what they complain about.
My knowledge about SMTP is a bit dusty, but you can’t just connect to a server and tell it to deliver an email with an arbitrary FROM addr. Ask your admin about details.
