RE: any dangers of using UTL_SMTP
Thank you very much everybody for your expert comments. That really helped me to put my case with manager who has concerns about using UTL_SMTP with loading java in database.

RE: any dangers of using UTL_SMTP
Sandesh, It works fine with minimal impact. Once you install Java, be sure and run initplsj.sql in the ORACLE_HOME/RDBMS/ADMIN directory, or else the utl_smtp will not work. If you follow the example in the docs for PL/SQL pre-defined procs, you should get the utl_smtp working just fine. If you have problems, drop me a line, and I will send you the stored procedure I use for the developers to call. I would suggest that you set this procedure up for them to use to make it easier for them, and for you to control the From address line. That only thing I don't like about it this - you can put *anything* in the from area of the email address. Like: from Bill-Bob Bush, White House USA. It seems wrong to me but, what the hey. Hope this helps.

This isn't new. telnet to the smtp port of your mailserver, and you can easily spoof mail. anyone with a little knowledge will know to look in the full header though to see where it really came from.
