We are running Oracle Version 8.1.7.4 on Solaris 2.9 We have a package that keeps going invalid. It uses oracle mail with utl_smtp. We also have been having mail server problems. 1-Could a problem with mail services be causes a problem with a user-defined package using utl_smtp and those mail services? 2-What is the most efficient way to track WHAT made a package go invalid?
