hi kevin, Some doubts : your mail mentions three files : mailserver_startup.sh mailserver.csh and mail_server.sql.
What i see in mail is only two attachments. mailhost.csh ???? mail_server.sql. mail_server.sql looks ok to me. but mailhost.csh contains the statement like command := 'sprintf(SCmdLine,'' -s%s -e%s -t%s'',sub,dst,msg)'; This gives the statement like sprintf(SCmdLine,' -s%s -e%s -t%s',sub,dst,msg) on command prompt to execute. Don't we use anything like sendmail. please clarify. How it works and where are mailserver.csh and mailserver_startup.sh files. regards sunil s. -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2001 9:15 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Here we go folks....this was originally sent to Christopher Spence... Hi Chrisopher, It's based around the fact that I don't have access to the UTL_SMTP package. Some of our DBs are still 7.3.4.2.0 and I'm not sure if we have access to this utility. I don't want to bother the DBAs with it..grin. It's basically comprised of three elements. A pl/sql package called mail_server. A unix shell script called mailserver_startup.sh and a unix c shell script called mailserver.csh. I've attached them for you. Basically run the package into your database. Place the two shell scripts into a directory and run the mailserver_startup.sh like so: $ksh mailserver_startup.sh If you then do a: $ ps -ef | grep mailserver You should find that the mailserver.csh process is sitting in the backgound running away as normal. To send mail from within pl/sql, issue the command: SQL> exec v_mail_server.send_mail('[EMAIL PROTECTED]','Subject matter','Message'); And that is that..any probs give me a shout. Kev.

How this can be done using PL/SQL (i.e. triggers). Does mail server i.e. Lotus or Exchange server matters in this case. regards sunil s. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com <http://www.orafaq.com> -- Author: SUNILSHIVAPPA INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
