Hi, I am using the below package for the send mail functionality from Oracle. When I use pass the multiple e-mail addresses (using comma or semicolon delimeter), I get the following error message. Do I have to parse and split the e-mail variable and call this package multiple times OR is there a way to use the multiple e-mail addresses in the UTL_SMTP? DECLARE * ERROR at line 1: ORA-20000: Failed to send mail due to the following error: ORA-29279: SMTP permanent error: 553 malformed address: Nsubbiah@xxxxxxxxx,ess.admin@xxxxxxxx ORA-06512: at line 10 Thanks in Advance.
