Re: UTL_MAIL - Trying to find a smtp server that works...

Hi Robert

since it's a demo...
Why not setup an SMTP server that requires no authentication on the same box that is running your db? You can configure the SMTP server to only accept connections from localhost so it doesn't get flooded with spam requests. 

choices: sendmail, exim, qmail to name a few

That's what I use in my tiny lab at home....

Anyone know of an SMTP server that I can use with utl_mail? I've tried about 4 different ones (e.g. smtp.yahoo.com) that I have access too but I get errors. If I remember correctly this is because many of them require you include your password (like yahoo mail) and utl_mail does not provide for this. 

Any suggestions?
